Several challenges can affect the effectiveness of follow-up visits, including:
Patient Non-Compliance: Patients may not adhere to their treatment plan or attend follow-up appointments consistently. Communication Barriers: Language barriers, cultural differences, and health literacy issues can impact the quality of communication between nurses and patients. Resource Limitations: Limited access to healthcare resources, transportation, and financial constraints can hinder follow-up care. Fragmented Care: Lack of coordination among healthcare providers can lead to fragmented care and inconsistent follow-up.
