Several factors contribute to the administrative burden in nursing:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): While EHRs are designed to streamline processes, they often require significant data entry and can be cumbersome to use. 2. Regulatory Compliance: Nurses are required to adhere to numerous regulations and standards, necessitating extensive documentation. 3. Policy Changes: Frequent changes in healthcare policies can require additional training and adjustment, adding to the workload. 4. Staff Shortages: When facilities are understaffed, the administrative tasks do not decrease, leading to a higher burden on the available staff.
