PITTSBURGH, April 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Key insights for payers and providers about the use of telerehabilitation services during COVID-19 were highlighted in the latest research from Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes (FOTO), a Net Health company. The findings were published online ahead of print in the
Journal.
The descriptive study, based on a recent national FOTO data set of 222,680 patient records, provides details on how and to whom therapists provided telerehabilitation treatment during the coronavirus pandemic. It is the first peer-reviewed journal publication in a series of FOTO's telehealth research efforts and strengthens the case for the continued acceptance of telerehabilitation by rehab therapists, consumers, healthcare plan sponsors and payers. It also sets the stage for future effectiveness studies on telerehabilitation care and patient outcomes compared to traditional in-person clinic visits.
