Telerehabilitation

Instant Access to Therapies and Physicians. Anytime, Anywhere

Since 2020, CNS has delivered more than 125,000 hours of virtual rehabilitation to patients.

Telerehab offers patients greater flexibility and is a valuable stage in the patient’s continuum of care. Using the RingCentral Video^® platform, powered by Zoom, patients can now access therapies, clinicians, and their treatment team with ease.

Services Include

Telerehab: Patients receive full rehabilitation at home, virtually, from their therapy team working at a CNS clinic.
- Telerehab Kit: CNS ships a boxed kit of learning aids to telerehab and some hybrid patients. Included is a user’s guide for navigating RingCentral Video, learning tools, notebooks, calculator, pens, a water bottle and a desktop whiteboard.
Hybrid Rehabilitation: If appropriate, patients can opt for both in-clinic (in person) and virtual (in home) treatment.
Telemedicine: Patients, therapists and families can consult online with physicians as needed.

Telerehab Systems and Features

Seamless Collaboration with RingCentral Video and Zoom

Privacy and patient safety are critical to delivering patient care virtually. The RingCentral Video solution and Zoom are secure, HIPAA compliant platforms deployed in all CNS clinics. This enables patients and therapy teams to connect, communicate, and collaborate seamlessly. Integrated video meetings and messaging also allow anyone in the patient’s sphere to communicate.

Telemedicine also reduces the need for urgent care and emergency room visits, as certain evaluations and physician input can be accomplished via video and sharing patient data.

NATIONAL DATA CONFIRMS SUCCESS OF TELEREHAB

Based on clinical surveys, a significant percentage of patients made the same or better progress as in-clinic patients.

CNS conducted a recent survey that reveals how patients and staff successfully adapted to telehealth technology. A national survey has also been published by the Brain Injury Association of America, which aligns with CNS’ internal findings: Telerehab is a highly effective therapy platform.
