Want the resources mentioned in the webinar?

If you want to go a step deeper after watching, here are the exact next steps I referenced at the end of the session:

• Free RTM download: A practical, quick-reference resource to help you understand RTM and what it could look like in your clinic

• 2026 RTM updates: Check out this article covering the key 2026 RTM updates

• Book a meeting: If you’re a practice owner or director and you want to talk through what RTM could look like for your clinic, you can book a quick call here

What you’ll learn in this session

By the end of this webinar, you should walk away with:

• A clear understanding of what RTM is

• Why RTM matters so much for carryover between sessions

• A foundational overview of RTM as a reimbursement pathway — including the three RTM code sets

• What RTM can look like in a real clinical workflow, and how it can be streamlined with IndiAide

Why RTM matters for outpatient speech therapy (and why now)

We all know the typical outpatient process:

1. Initial evaluation + goals

2. Ongoing treatment (usually weekly, sometimes twice a week)

3. And then the third crucial piece - the one that truly determines how quickly progress is made - is carryover

Because when you really think about it, seeing a patient one to two times a week is such a small amount of time in the grand scheme of things. The real progress happens in the hours and days outside of sessions, when patients and families are trying to follow through at home in real life.

And right now, most of us are doing our best to support carryover by:

• Printing handouts

• Sending worksheets home

• Emailing

• Texting

• Writing things down at the end of the session so the patient doesn’t forget

But there’s still something missing... How do we know they’re actually doing it?

How do we know they understand how and why?

How do we know what’s happening at home in the moment - not a week later when we see them again?

That’s where RTM comes in.

What is RTM?

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is the use of qualifying technology to track and monitor a patient’s progress, adherence, and response to therapy outside of sessions.

So practically, RTM can include things like:

• Tracking engagement with home therapy activities

• Patients logging progress, symptoms, or questions from home

• Patients sharing photos, videos, or recordings

• Clinicians communicating with patients about progress, adherence, or response between sessions

• Using RTM data to make care plan adjustments as needed

RTM acts as a bridge between therapy sessions and the home environment. It supports home program adherence, and it provides documented evidence of between-session clinical work and patient response.

RTM has 3 code sets

In the webinar, we talk about RTM as three general buckets:

1. 1. Setup & education (one-time): Getting the patient set up with the technology and educating them on how and why it’s used.

2. 2. Technology supply + use (monthly): Supplying the RTM technology and having it actually be used over the monitoring period (software as a medical device — not a physical device).

3. 3. Treatment management time (monthly): Time spent reviewing patient data, communicating with the patient about progress/adherence/response, and using that information to inform care.

If you want the 2026 updates related to these code sets, we have a dedicated resource here: 2026 RTM Updates

What RTM looks like in a simple clinical workflow

Here’s the streamlined version of what RTM can look like in day-to-day outpatient speech therapy:

1) Add the patient + educate them

You add the patient and educate them on how and why RTM technology will be used to keep them on track between sessions.

2) Assign therapy activities + schedule reminders

Instead of sending things home on paper or in an email that gets buried, you can load therapy activities into one consistent place and schedule them. Patients get reminders at designated times.

3) The patient engages at home

On the patient side, they can:

• Check a box to mark activity completion

• Add notes (symptoms, questions, progress)

• Share photos/videos/voice recordings when helpful

This is where so much clinical value happens — because patients can ask questions right when they come up, rather than waiting a week, forgetting, and losing momentum.

4) You monitor and respond

As the clinician, you can monitor:

• What they’re completing and what they’re skipping

• Patterns (morning vs evening, too much vs too little, too easy vs too hard)

• Notes/questions that need a response

You can make care plan adjustments based on what you’re seeing — and you can communicate with the patient between visits to keep progress moving.

5) Get reimbursed

As you'll see in the video, the codes are reimbursed at rates that can significantly impact your SLP practice.

If you’re thinking, “Okay… this seems like it could actually fit,” here are three easy next steps depending on where you’re at:

If you want a quick resource first:

👉 Download your free RTM guide

If you want to understand the 2026 updates:

👉 Read the 2026 RTM updates article

If you’re a practice owner/director and want to talk through how it could work in your practice:

👉 Book a 15-minute call to learn more

Even just a short call can help you see what this could look like inside your specific workflows, with your EMR, with your team size, and with your patient populations. We'd love to show you how!
