Patient and Caregiver Labor map

Count unpaid calls, forms, portals, travel, record gathering, repeated explanations, and home work around care.

Under the pillar AI Workforce™, Native Alpha™, and Recomposition

Inputs

A patient journey, direct observation, interviews, timing, contact logs, forms, travel, and caregiver contributions.

Output

Boundary

Patient effort can be clinically useful or chosen. The map should not label all participation as burden.

Stop
