[evidence] Goals: - Fill every visit, even after a last-minute callout [evidence] - Stop missed visits from escalating to the agency owner [evidence] - Spend less of the morning on the phone [evidence] Frustrations: - Last-minute callouts, named as the worst part of the job by 6 of 8 [evidence] - Chasing caregivers by phone and text to find cover [evidence] - Keeping a whiteboard, a spreadsheet and text threads in sync [assumption: we saw all three tools, not how often they disagree] How they work today: A whiteboard, a spreadsheet and texting, used together. [evidence] What they need from us: - A fast way to find an available caregiver when someone calls out - One place for the schedule instead of three - A heads-up before a visit is at risk of being missed In their words: "I spend my mornings playing phone tag." "If a visit gets missed, the family calls the owner, not me." Validate next: 1. How long does it take today to cover a callout? Time 5 schedulers on a real one. 2. Does coming from a caregiver role change what they need from the software? Compare the 5 promoted schedulers with the 3 who weren't. 3. How many visits are missed per month? Ask agencies for their numbers.
