"EVV has already pushed many employees out of the home care industry"
 

From Kendra Scalia's Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Is Here: What you need to know and how to get involved:

"There exists a severe nationwide home care worker shortage. It is almost impossible to find consistent care in many areas of the country.  Electronic visit verification has already pushed many employees out of the home care industry, as they are able to find better paying jobs that don't require them to sacrifice their privacy rights."
