1. Technological Barriers While technology can enhance monitoring, it also presents challenges such as the need for training, maintenance, and integration with existing systems. Ensuring that nurses are proficient in using these technologies is critical.
2. Workload and Staffing High patient loads and staffing shortages can impede effective monitoring. Hospitals and healthcare institutions must address these issues to ensure that nurses have the time and resources needed for thorough monitoring.
3. Data Overload With the influx of data from various monitoring devices, nurses may face difficulties in managing and interpreting this information. Implementing systems that prioritize and filter relevant data can help mitigate this challenge.
4. Resistance to Change Adapting to new monitoring practices and technologies can be met with resistance from staff. Providing adequate support, training, and demonstrating the benefits can help overcome this resistance.
