What are the challenges in involving stakeholders?
While stakeholder involvement is crucial, it comes with its own set of challenges:
- Conflicting Interests: Different stakeholders may have conflicting goals and priorities. - Communication Barriers: Differences in language, literacy, and health literacy can impede effective communication. - Resource Constraints: Limited time, staff, and financial resources can restrict the extent of stakeholder involvement. - Resistance to Change: Some stakeholders may be resistant to new practices or policies. - Complexity: The healthcare system is complex, and coordinating among various stakeholders can be challenging.
