Measures that move
Pain, function and avoidable transfers are all measured, and all directly addressed by a standing physiatry and pain round. See the outcomes.
For administrators
Physiatry and interventional pain consults are billed to the resident's insurance, the way any specialty consult is. There is no facility fee, no medical directorship arrangement required, and no payment in either direction tied to access or referrals.

Compliance
Specific, dated consult notes with documented indications for controlled substances and a visible clinical rationale. How we document.
Operations
Fewer transfer packets, fewer after-hours calls about pain, and one operations contact for scheduling and credentialing instead of a vendor switchboard.
Groups
Chains and regional groups are onboarded building by building, on one standard of documentation and one cadence, so performance is comparable across the portfolio.
