Turn staffing pain into structured field data. This is how the Hygienist Crisis Tracker becomes more useful than another screenshot thread.

What to send

State or metro so the shortage can be mapped to real local markets.
Office setting so FQHC, PPO-heavy, Medicaid, DSO, and private-office signals do not get blended.
Who you cannot hire, how long the role has been open, and what the shortage is forcing the office to do.
A short note describing whether the pressure is showing up in recall delays, doctor time, temps, or wage strain.

Hard rules

No patient names, staff names, or any PHI.
No recruiting spam, vendor pitches, or broker lead generation.
Submissions may be normalized, grouped, or anonymized before public display.
This is a structured intake workflow, not an auto-published message board.

Human check

Submission tools stay locked until a real-human check passes.

This intake is designed to keep vendor spam and bot junk out of the tracker. Real office detail plus a short verification step unlocks the submission tools.

I am submitting a real staffing observation and I did not include PHI or personal staff details.

Why this format

Shortage pressure is easier to compare when recall delay, doctor coverage, temps, and wage strain are structured.
The same fields can feed a future database, dashboard, or map without rewriting the intake later.
Issue export works immediately while the fuller tracker backend is still being built.
