You open a $120 million surgical tower. The ORs gleam. The board expects $30M new revenue by Year 3.
Then the leak starts:
- OR case delays: 41 minutes between cases
- 90-day readmissions: 18.4% (vs. CMS TEAM target <12%)
- New beds occupied: 34% in Month 1
That’s $10.2 million in trapped capacity and penalties—before CMS TEAM 2026 even begins.
SolvEdge fixes it with two platforms that work as one:
- RecoveryCOACH → Automates the 90-day post-op journey
- FRO → Optimizes OR scheduling, surgeon block utilization, and case distribution
Together, they turn your expansion into a CMS TEAM profit center.

FRO + RecoveryCOACH Integration – The Closed Loop
From Scalpel to Sofa: One Platform, Zero Leaks
FRO predicts discharge date at case booking. RecoveryCOACH takes over at discharge order.
Example closed loop:
FRO sees Dr. Lee’s TKA runs 18 min long → auto-adjusts block
RecoveryCOACH gets handover → sends Day 3 PROM
PROM pain score >7 → auto-books PT + flags FRO for OR follow-up slot
Result: ALOS 5.4 → 4.3 days | New bed utilization 34% → 81%
