  • Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for SLPs: Support Better Patient Outcomes while Getting Recognized & Reimbursed for Work You’re Already Doing

    Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) can transform how speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in outpatient and private practice settings support patients beyond the clinic while getting recognized and reimbursed for work we’re often already doing. While RTM is still unfamiliar to our field, this presentation aims to change that by introducing RTM's core concepts and clinical rationale, and demonstrating how seamlessly it can fit into daily practice. The session includes time for questions and discussion of real-world clinical implementation. Whether you are a practice owner focused on growth or a clinician seeking greater patient engagement and validation of your between-session efforts, this presentation offers practical guidance for successfully implementing RTM as an SLP. Intended Audience: Speech-Language Pathologists - whether LSVT LOUD–certified or not Presenter: Alyssa Antcliff, MS, CCC-SLP CEO, IndiAide
