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

Presented by Matthew Foulks, Jon Ide-Don, and Andrew Mickus

Description

*This webinar is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT

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 around post-op populations, from patient selection and clinical workflows to reimbursement lessons learned the hard way.
