RTM for Memory Care
RTM for Memory Care — Powered by athenahealth + CCN Health
Purpose-built RTM for Memory Care communities. CCN Health integrates directly with athenahealth to automate clinical workflows and capture every eligible reimbursement.
CCN Health provides a certified Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) integration with athenahealth designed specifically for memory care communities. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for Memory Care with athenahealth
Implementing RTM in memory care settings requires an integration that understands both the clinical needs of residents with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other cognitive impairments who require specialized care environments and cannot reliably use traditional monitoring devices and the workflows of athenahealth. CCN Health bridges this gap.
Memory Care Challenges That RTM Addresses
- Monitoring residents who remove, lose, or cannot operate wearable devices
- Detecting health changes in residents who cannot self-report symptoms
- Managing elopement risk alongside health monitoring
- Correlating behavioral changes with physiological indicators
How It Works in Memory Care
- 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
