SNF clinicians cannot meet unrealistic productivity quotas because documentation, patient transport, and interruptions are not counted toward their time, forcing unsafe workarounds.
NetHealth and similar tools only count direct face-to-face patient time, ignoring documentation, transport, and communication — the actual workflow of an SNF clinician.
Workarounds Described
- manually inflating patient treatment minutes in NetHealth to include documentation and transport
- skipping bowel movements and colleague communication to preserve productivity numbers
- counting only direct line-of-sight minutes while clinical work continues off the clock
Implied Software Gaps
- Automatic time tracking that differentiates between treatment, transport, and documentation
- Non-punitive productivity model based on total clinical workload rather than face-to-face minutes
- Interruption logging integrated with schedule to reflect real-world workflow disruptions
SNF TimeWise
A workflow-based productivity tracking app for skilled nursing facilities that captures all clinically necessary activities — documentation, transport, chart review, and interdisciplinary communication — not just patient-facing minutes. It replaces unrealistic face-time quotas with an evidence-based workload model that reflects real SNF operations, improving accuracy and reducing clinician burnout.
- Automatic capture of documentation time from EHR activity
- Bluetooth-based room-to-gym transport tracking with automatic logging
- Quick-tap interruption log for communication and unplanned events
- Daily workload score that replaces percentage-based productivity with a weighted activity index
