What Are the Challenges Posed by System Complexity?
System complexity can pose several challenges, including:
Burnout: The high demands and stress associated with managing complex systems can lead to nurse burnout, affecting their well-being and job performance. Errors: Increased complexity can raise the risk of errors in medication administration, documentation, and patient care, potentially compromising patient safety. Communication Breakdowns: Miscommunication or lack of communication within interdisciplinary teams can result in fragmented care and adverse outcomes. Resource Allocation: Limited resources can make it challenging to meet all patients' needs, leading to difficult decisions regarding care prioritization.
