A physical therapist in a skilled nursing facility is frustrated that motivated patients who want therapy are denied or have reduced therapy while unmotivated patients are assigned therapy, wasting resources and preventing willing patients from improving.

There is no system to match therapy resources to patients based on motivation and willingness, leading to inefficient allocation and poor outcomes for motivated patients.
