While the transfer of information is essential, it is not without its challenges:
Communication Gaps: Miscommunication can occur during verbal handovers or when information is not properly documented. Time Constraints: Nurses often have limited time to pass on information, leading to incomplete or hurried exchanges. Technology Issues: EHR systems can malfunction, or there may be issues with data compatibility between different systems. Confidentiality: Ensuring patient information remains confidential while being accessible to those who need it can be challenging.
