Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is the process of remotely recording patient health data and employing technology to provide frequent monitoring and therapeutic treatments. New technologies are being introduced into the healthcare industry on a regular basis. The digital health industry is growing rapidly, as a result of innovative technologies, which is leading to an increase in the use of remote monitoring.
If you look back, you will see that for a number of years, remote patient monitoring, or PMD, has been used in healthcare settings. It enables medical professionals and non-medical practitioners to monitor distant patients with long-term illnesses. In order to enhance patient outcomes, boost income, and gather more accurate data, remote therapeutic monitoring, or RTM, can be particularly helpful in rehab treatment clinics.
Non-physiological data can be monitored remotely using advanced technology, including musculoskeletal and respiratory system data, pain levels, patient adherence, and reaction to therapeutic intervention or drugs. Remote treatment monitoring data can be automatically collected, stored, and transmitted. Patients may also report data to their providers.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring is required to utilize a medical device that meets all of the FDA’s criteria. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, doctors, and physician assistants are all examples of “qualified healthcare providers” (QHPs).
There are five remote therapeutic monitoring codes. Four can be utilized for patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders. RTM codes are referred to as general management codes. This means that practitioners, especially physical and occupational therapists, may charge these codes and deliver services. Source
