UMP Partners’ OrthoTexas expands at-home physical therapy through Resilient Healthcare’s technology-enabled care platform

Resilient Healthcare, a healthcare technology and services company enabling healthcare organizations to extend clinical services beyond traditional facilities, today announced the continued expansion of its partnership with OrthoTexas, part of United Musculoskeletal Partners (UMP), to provide outpatient physical therapy in patients’ homes across North Texas.

The expansion comes as Resilient’s work to move hospital-based healthcare services traditionally into the home was recently highlighted by Modern Healthcare, reflecting growing industry interest in care models that expand patient access while using technology to better support clinicians.

As of November 2026, OrthoTexas will comprise five unified practices, all partnered with UMP and operating under the unified OrthoTexas name. Those practices are All-Star Orthopedics, AOA Orthopedic Specialists, North Texas Orthopedics & Spine Center, Orthopedic Associates and OrthoTexas Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. Together, they represent more than 70 physicians across 22 locations throughout Dallas-Fort Worth and recorded more than 450,000 patient encounters in 2025.

OrthoTexas began using the Resilient platform in December 2025 to incorporate outpatient physical therapy at home into the orthopedic care continuum. Since launch, at-home physical therapy volume has grown significantly, with continued expansion expected throughout 2026.

“We designed this program around something very simple: patients should be able to receive the care prescribed by their physician in the setting that works best for them,” said Parind Patel, President of UMP Texas. “By incorporating at-home physical therapy into pre-operative planning and connecting it directly to physician-developed rehabilitation protocols, we can create a more seamless transition from surgery, to recovery at home, and ultimately to clinic-based therapy as the patient progresses. The adoption we have seen demonstrates the value patients place on having that flexibility.”

Transportation and access can become significant barriers to physical therapy in the days and weeks following orthopedic surgery. Patients may travel considerable distances to undergo surgery with the physician of their choice, but returning that same distance several times each week for rehabilitation can be difficult. Work schedules, family responsibilities, and temporary mobility limitations can further affect a patient’s ability to consistently participate in therapy.

Through Resilient, eligible OrthoTexas patients can begin outpatient rehabilitation in their homes with one-on-one care, with the flexibility to transition into an outpatient clinic or another appropriate therapy setting as their recovery progresses.

The program is incorporated into pre-operative care planning, so patients understand their rehabilitation pathway before surgery. Clinical protocols are developed by OrthoTexas physicians and therapists, helping ensure patients receive the appropriate rehabilitation program based on their procedure, physician protocol and clinical progression.

Supporting the program is RAIN, Resilient’s AI-enabled care platform, which connects referral intake, scheduling, clinical workflows, documentation and patient information across the care journey. RAIN gives clinicians relevant patient information and physician protocols in one place, helps organize their daily workflow and reduces time spent searching through records, preparing documentation and managing repetitive administrative tasks.

For Resilient, reducing that administrative burden is also a clinician quality-of-life initiative.

“Healthcare innovation cannot only be about making care more convenient for the patient. We also have to build a better experience for the clinicians delivering it,” said Dr. Jackleen Samuel, Founder and CEO of Resilient Healthcare. “Clinician burnout is real, and too much of a provider’s day is still spent organizing schedules, searching through patient records, and completing repetitive documentation. RAIN is designed to give that time back while allowing clinicians to focus on their patients and practice at the top of their license. OrthoTexas is showing what happens when you combine that technology with a physician-led care model that follows the patient from surgery into the home and through recovery.”

The technology also supports continuity as patients move between care settings, helping keep the rehabilitation plan and relevant clinical information connected throughout recovery.

OrthoTexas continues to maintain a healthy mix of home-based and clinic-based rehabilitation. Clinic-based therapy remains an important part of the continuum, with patients able to receive care in the setting most appropriate for their clinical needs, geography and personal preference.

During its first six months, the partnership has expanded patient access and supported adherence to physician-prescribed rehabilitation protocols.

“The greater value is giving our patients another way to successfully complete the recovery plan prescribed by their physician,” Patel said. “Removing barriers to therapy while maintaining continuity across the episode of care makes this a valuable part of our broader care model.”

Resilient and OrthoTexas expect the at-home rehabilitation program to continue scaling throughout North Texas.
