A therapist in a skilled nursing facility is burnt out from seeing 12-14 patients per day, up from 8-10, due to administrative pressure to maintain high patient volume, with many patients being inappropriate for SNF care.

Existing scheduling and caseload management tools do not address the pressure from administration to overfill slots with inappropriate patients, or help therapists advocate for manageable workloads.
