What are the Challenges in Implementing Standardization?
Despite its benefits, implementing standardization in nursing can be challenging. Some of the common obstacles include:
Resistance to Change: Staff may be resistant to altering their established practices. Resource Limitations: Limited resources can hinder the development and implementation of standardized protocols. Diverse Patient Needs: Standardized protocols may not always consider the unique needs of every patient. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Effective standardization often requires collaboration across various healthcare disciplines, which can be difficult to achieve.
