Prior to use of the RS-4i® Plus, RS Medical employs a baseline questionnaire (adapted from the Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative Pain Management) evaluating a patient’s pain and spasms in relation to activity, sleep, mood, and stress. At 30 days of device utilization, the questionnaire is resubmitted to document patient progress.
The follow-up questionnaires show significant improvement in levels of pain.
Using the data on the costs of pain patients in conjunction with the RS Medical assessment data, after accounting for the cost of the device, one wearable and a 12-month supply of electrodes, a total projected year one healthcare savings estimate is feasible:
Effective pain management with muscle rehabilitation can reap significant healthcare savings.
