Several factors contribute to data limitations in nursing:
Data Collection Methods: Different methods of data collection can yield varying levels of accuracy. For instance, self-reported data may suffer from bias. Data Entry Errors: Human errors during data entry can lead to inaccuracies. Interoperability Issues: Different healthcare systems may use incompatible data formats, making it difficult to share and integrate data. Incomplete Data: Missing information can significantly affect the quality of data analysis. Outdated Data: Using old data may not reflect current practices or patient conditions.
