Despite its importance, care coordination faces several challenges, including:
Communication Barriers: Miscommunication or lack of communication between healthcare providers can lead to fragmented care. Resource Limitations: Limited resources, such as time, staff, and funding, can hinder effective care coordination. Complex Care Needs: Patients with multiple chronic conditions or complex needs require more intensive coordination, which can be challenging to manage. Lack of Standardization: Variability in care coordination practices and lack of standardized protocols can lead to inconsistencies in care delivery.
