Several factors can cause disruptions in nursing workflow. These include:
Staff Shortages: When there are not enough nurses available, the existing staff often have to take on additional responsibilities, leading to burnout and mistakes. Inadequate Training: Nurses who are not adequately trained or familiar with the latest medical technologies can slow down processes, causing delays. Poor Communication: Inefficient communication between doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff can lead to misunderstandings and errors. Interruptions: Frequent interruptions from colleagues, patients, and family members can disrupt a nurseâs focus and workflow. Administrative Burden: Excessive paperwork and documentation requirements can take time away from patient care.
