What are the Barriers to Effective Double Checking?
Despite the benefits, there are several barriers to effective double checking:
1. Time Constraints: In busy healthcare settings, the additional time required for a double check can be a significant barrier. 2. Staffing Levels: Insufficient staffing can make it challenging to find another qualified professional to perform the double check. 3. Compliance: Ensuring that all staff consistently adhere to double checking protocols can be difficult.
