This $256,422 Project Grant award from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under the Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes (CFDA 93.226) program will examine the feasibility, effectiveness, and implementation of remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) for patients receiving physical therapy (PT) for musculoskeletal (MSK) pain.

The project will be conducted in two phases. The R21 phase will assess the feasibility of implementing RTM among a pilot group of physical therapists who treat patients with MSK pain and gather feedback to refine the RTM approach. The subsequent R33 phase will involve full-scale implementation of RTM across all MSK physical therapists at the institution. This R33 phase will evaluate the clinical effectiveness of RTM-enhanced PT compared to standard PT, as well as the impact on healthcare costs and utilization. The project aims to generate insights that can inform the development of a multi-center clinical trial examining the clinical and cost-effectiveness of RTM for PT outside of this institution.
