What Are the Common Challenges in Maintaining Data Quality?
Several challenges can affect data quality in nursing:
1. Human Error: Mistakes during data entry are common and can compromise data accuracy. 2. Inconsistent Data Entry: Variability in how different staff members enter data can lead to inconsistencies. 3. System Limitations: Outdated or poorly integrated electronic health record (EHR) systems may hinder data quality. 4. Time Constraints: Nurses often face time pressures, which can lead to rushed or incomplete data entry.
