Despite its importance, achieving consistency in care can be challenging. Some of the barriers include:
1. *Staff Turnover*: High turnover rates can disrupt the continuity of care as new staff may require time to familiarize themselves with protocols and patients. 2. *Workload*: Heavy workloads and understaffing can lead to burnout, affecting the quality and consistency of care. 3. *Communication Gaps*: Inadequate communication within the healthcare team can result in misunderstandings and errors. 4. *Resource Limitations*: Limited access to necessary resources, such as medical equipment and supplies, can hinder the ability to provide consistent care.
