Despite its importance, monitoring outcomes in nursing comes with challenges. These include:
1. Data Privacy and Security Ensuring the privacy and security of patient data is paramount. Nurses must adhere to regulations such as HIPAA to protect sensitive information.
2. Resource Constraints Limited resources, including time, staff, and technology, can hinder effective outcomes monitoring.
3. Resistance to Change Some healthcare professionals may resist changes in practice, making it difficult to implement new monitoring strategies.
