Connected Digital Health Episode 4: Hybrid Care After Surgery: How Is RTM Closing the Gap?

Remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) is redefining the post-surgical rehab experience, especially for patients who don’t live just down the street from the clinic. For health systems serving large geographic regions, RTM is much more than a billing opportunity; it’s a vital care access strategy that keeps patients connected during the most critical windows of their recovery. Join us for a live podcast episode and a real-world conversation with Matthew Foulks from the University of Utah Health. Matthew will share how his team successfully embedded RTM into their total joint and ortho-spine programs, extending the reach of their clinicians and closing the gap between surgical follow-ups. We’ll explore what it actually takes to build an RTM program for post-op populations, from patient selection and clinical workflows to lessons learned the hard way on reimbursement.Learning OutcomesDetermine how RTM extends post-surgical rehab beyond the clinic and increase access for patients in remote or underserved areasPlan how to build RTM workflows around key post-op milestones and integrate monitoring into existing clinical pathwaysExamine the impact of RTM on patient access, clinical outcomes, and health system financialsIf you’d like to subscribe to Medbridge, visit ⁠https://www.medbridge.com/pricing/
