Home health care refers to a wide range of medical and non-medical services provided to individuals in their own homes. Outpatient therapy, also known as outpatient treatment, is a type of medical service where patients receive specialized care without being admitted to a hospital or staying overnight. 

The main difference between home health vs. outpatient therapy is that outpatient therapy is delivered in a clinic or a hospital setting where patients visit for scheduled sessions and then return home. Both provide flexibility and medical services to patients, but the location and the delivery method of care is different.

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) ​​is a healthcare practice that uses technology to monitor and manage a patient’s health outside of the traditional clinic setting.
