Frequently asked questions
Common questions from administrators, medical directors, and clinicians about working with REVO.
What is physiatry, in plain language?+
Physiatry — also called Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) — is the medical specialty focused on restoring function after illness or injury. Physiatrists are MDs who treat the whole patient, with a focus on mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Does REVO replace our primary care team?+
No. REVO complements your primary care team. Our physiatrists, NPs, and PAs focus on rehabilitation and functional recovery — partnering with, never replacing, the medical director and primary care providers already at the facility.
Who actually rounds on patients day-to-day?+
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants lead daily bedside rounds. Board-certified physiatrists (MDs) provide periodic in-person oversight and complex case reviews. This model gives patients consistent specialist contact every day.
What conditions do you treat?+
Common cases include post-stroke and post-TBI recovery, joint replacement rehab, spinal cord injury, complex pain and spasticity, wound and amputation rehab, and deconditioning in older adults.
How long does it take to launch a partnership?+
Most facilities are clinically integrated within 30 days of signed agreement, including credentialing, EMR access, and IDT integration.
How are outcomes measured?+
We share monthly reporting on discharge functional scores, length of stay, and 30-day hospital readmissions — alongside qualitative feedback from your therapy and nursing teams.
