Improve the Workflow

Changes in demand for care often cause workflow to fluctuate widely at different times of year, month, week, or day. Rather than increasing staff to handle the times of peak demand, managers can often take steps to better distribute the demand. This results in a smooth workflow rather than continual peaks and valleys.
