What are the Challenges to Achieving Time Efficiency?
Despite the benefits, achieving time efficiency in nursing can be challenging due to several factors:
Staffing Shortages: Insufficient staffing levels can increase the workload for individual nurses, making it difficult to manage time effectively. High Patient Acuity: Patients with complex medical conditions require more time and attention, which can strain resources. Interruptions: Frequent interruptions, such as phone calls or unplanned patient needs, can disrupt workflow and reduce efficiency. Administrative Burden: Extensive documentation and administrative tasks can take time away from direct patient care.
