What Challenges are Associated with Performance Monitoring?
Despite its benefits, performance monitoring in nursing faces several challenges. These include resistance to change, time constraints, and limited resources. Nurses may perceive performance monitoring as a punitive process rather than a developmental opportunity, leading to resistance. Additionally, the time required for data collection and analysis can be burdensome, especially in busy healthcare settings. Limited resources, such as staffing and technology, can also hinder the effective implementation of performance monitoring systems. To overcome these challenges, healthcare organizations must emphasize the positive aspects of performance monitoring and provide adequate support and resources.
