Connected Digital Health Podcast - 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.

In this episode of the Connected Digital Health Podcast, we dive into a real-world conversation with Matthew Foulks from the University of Utah Health. Matthew shares 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 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.

Watch this recorded podcast to learn:

  • How RTM extends post-surgical rehab beyond the clinic and increases access for patients in remote or underserved areas.

  • How to build RTM workflows around key post-op milestones and integrate monitoring into existing clinical pathways.

  • The impact of RTM on patient access, clinical outcomes, and health system financials.
