Today, many caregivers are trapped in poor environments that inhibit the ability to effectively serve patients. Providers need a high patient flow to remain financially viable, which has limited time spent with each patient.

This leads to a great deal of patient and provider dissatisfaction, decreased efficiency and increased stress, for both providers and patients.
