HealthcareWorkload Management5CriticalRegistered Nurse$ explicit
Nurses in skilled nursing facilities are assigned unsafe patient ratios, making it impossible to complete required tasks and documentation within shift hours, causing moral distress and risk to patient safety and nursing licenses.
Existing EHR systems like PointClickCare add to the burden by requiring time-consuming charting and click-offs that nurses cannot honestly complete, without addressing unsafe staffing ratios or providing workload relief.
