Learn How to Quickly and Easily Implement Remote Therapeutic Monitoring Into Your Practice

September 3, 2024

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is making waves in rheumatology, offering insights that can transform physical therapy. A 2023 study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (PMC) explores RTM’s role in managing rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, highlighting tools like the ArthritisPower® Research Registry. At MyMovementRx, we’re inspired by these advancements and their applications in physical therapy. Let’s examine RTM’s impact in rheumatology and its lessons for PT.

RTM’s Role in Rheumatology

The PMC study details how RTM, introduced in the U.S. in 2022, allows clinicians to monitor electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) like pain and fatigue between visits. The ArthritisPower® Registry, an FDA-registered Class I medical device, tracks these metrics for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Key findings include:

  • Enhanced Data Collection: RTM captures longitudinal data, improving care and supporting research.
  • Reimbursement Opportunities: Medicare and private insurers cover RTM, incentivizing adoption.
  • Patient-Centered Care: Daily smartphone-based data collection makes symptoms more visible, enabling timely interventions.

These benefits align closely with physical therapy goals, where tracking pain and exercise adherence is critical.

Applying RTM to Physical Therapy

Physical therapists can adopt rheumatology’s RTM strategies to:

  1. Monitor Progress Remotely: Track patient-reported outcomes like pain pre- and post-exercise to adjust therapy plans.
  2. Boost Engagement: Use patient-centered tools to maintain adherence, similar to smartphone-based ePRO systems.
  3. Leverage Billing Codes: Bill for RTM services under CPT 98975–98981, increasing practice revenue.

MyMovementRx empowers therapists with an RTM platform that mirrors these principles, offering real-time data and seamless EHR integration for conditions like arthritis.
