What Challenges are Faced in Accurate Data Collection?

- Time Constraints: Nurses often work under tight schedules, which can lead to rushed or incomplete data collection. - Patient Factors: Patients may provide incomplete or inaccurate information due to memory issues, misunderstanding, or reluctance. - Technical Issues: Problems with electronic health records or other digital tools can lead to data loss or inaccuracies. - Complex Cases: Patients with multiple or complex conditions can make data collection more challenging.
