Audio Runtime: 46 Minutes

Join physical therapist and private practice clinic director Katey Soenksen, PT, DPT, OCS, as she sits down with hosts Jon and Andrew to challenge the myth that older adults won't engage with digital care platforms. Together, they explore how Ascent Total Performance leveraged Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) not just to keep serving their local Medicare population, but to unlock impressive patient engagement and new clinic revenue streams. You'll discover the practical, non-clinical workflows and front-desk strategies that remove tech barriers for seniors, turning remote care into a seamless extension of your hands-on practice. Tune in to learn actionable ways to build a high-converting, hybrid care model that enhances long-term patient relationships without burning out your clinical staff.

Learning Outcomes
  • Determine how remote therapeutic monitoring functions as a revenue and access strategy for private practice outpatient clinics operating under sequential Medicare Physician Fee Schedule reductions
  • Identify the operational components of a hybrid care model that reduce technology barriers for older adults, including non-clinical staff roles, in-clinic program support, and structured post-discharge options
  • Apply lessons from a small private practice RTM implementation to assess feasibility, staffing requirements, and expected timeline within their own practice setting
