What are the Challenges in Implementing CDS in Nursing?
Despite its benefits, implementing CDS in nursing comes with several challenges:
User Resistance: Some nurses may resist using new technologies due to unfamiliarity or perceived complexity. Interoperability Issues: Integrating CDS tools with existing EHR systems can be technically challenging. Data Quality: The effectiveness of CDS hinges on the accuracy and completeness of the data entered into the system. Alert Fatigue: Too many alerts can overwhelm nurses, leading to important warnings being ignored. Training Needs: Adequate training and ongoing support are essential for effective CDS implementation.
