CCN Health provides a certified Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) integration with athenahealth designed specifically for assisted living communities. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for Assisted Living with athenahealth
Implementing RTM in assisted living settings requires an integration that understands both the clinical needs of residents who need assistance with daily activities but maintain a level of independence, often managing multiple chronic conditions and the workflows of athenahealth. CCN Health bridges this gap.
Assisted Living Challenges That RTM Addresses
- Monitoring residents who split time between their apartments and common areas
- Balancing assistance needs with resident autonomy and privacy
- Justifying staffing levels relative to resident acuity
- Differentiating your community in a competitive market
How It Works in Assisted Living
- Therapy Protocol Setup — Define therapeutic goals, exercise regimens, or respiratory therapy parameters
- Patient Self-Reporting — Patients report pain levels, range of motion, medication adherence, and functional status
- Outcome Tracking — Therapeutic outcomes trended over time to measure therapy effectiveness
- athenahealth Integration — Therapy data flows into athenahealth for documentation and care plan updates
- Billing Automation — CPT 98975-98981 documentation generated for compliant billing
