HealthcareScheduling & Dispatch4HighHome Health Nurse$ implied
Home health nurse is overwhelmed by excessive driving and uncompensated travel time, with productivity points not accounting for geography or after-visit documentation, leading to 10-12+ hour days during orientation.
Productivity point systems ignore windshield time and non-visit work; schedule doesn't optimize routing; travel time unpaid or undervalued.
