Employer planning tool

See what the vacancy may be costing beyond the payroll line.

An open PMHNP role can reduce appointment capacity while coverage, leadership time, and team pressure increase. Use this simple planning estimate to start the right internal conversation.

Make the cost visible

Put your assumptions in the open.

Enter a few operating assumptions to estimate the capacity and coverage impact of an unfilled role. The goal is not false precision—it is a clearer view of what waiting may be costing the organization.

This planning tool is illustrative only. It does not account for payer mix, collections, overhead, patient outcomes, or every cost tied to an open role.
