An empty IV chair points to an RN coverage gap, a staffing constraint with no visibility system behind it.
When the Lead Nurse calls out, every IV service on the schedule evaporates, while cryo and red light run unaffected. The franchisor has no network-wide view of which locations are chronically understaffed, which states restrict LPN delegation as a coverage option, or what the correlation between RN hours scheduled and IV revenue actually is. Each location manages this constraint independently. The pattern compounds silently across the network.
