Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) & SMS Consent
Enrollment and electronic consent for outpatient psychiatric monitoring and symptom tracking.
About the Monitoring Program
Pittsburgh Psychiatry utilizes Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) to support your clinical treatment between regular appointments. Through this program, your doctor can track your symptom patterns, response to psychiatric medications, and therapeutic progress in real time.
How It Works:
- Automated Check-in Links: You will receive periodic SMS text messages containing a secure link to brief, validated mental health assessments (e.g. PHQ-9, GAD-7, sleep, or mood scales).
- Physician Review: Your responses are securely transmitted directly to Dr. Dombrovski or Dr. Ivanov to guide treatment adjustments, medication titration, and follow-up planning.
- Zero Health Data over SMS: SMS messages contain only secure access links; no personal medical information or diagnosis is ever sent in plain text.
⚠️ Emergency Notice: Remote Therapeutic Monitoring is not an emergency crisis service and is not monitored 24/7. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, severe psychiatric distress, or a medical emergency, please call 911 or call/text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 immediately.
