HealthcareWorkload Management4HighNurse

A nurse is emotionally burnt out from 24/7 case management responsibilities and wants a job that allows her to fully disconnect after work hours without ongoing patient responsibilities.

Current case management roles require continuous availability and emotional investment, with no clear boundaries between work and personal time, leading to burnout. There is no tool or system to effectively distribute after-hours responsibilities or support nurses in managing patient and family communications.

Automatic message summaries and follow-up reminders for daytime staff
