There are several reasons why duplication of services may occur in nursing:
1. Lack of Communication: Ineffective communication between healthcare providers can lead to repeated tests, treatments, or procedures. 2. Fragmented Healthcare Systems: When different parts of the healthcare system do not share information effectively, it can result in overlapping services. 3. Multiple Providers: Patients seeing multiple specialists or healthcare providers may receive similar services from each, unaware that the same services have already been provided. 4. Inadequate Documentation: Poor documentation practices can lead to repeated services because the necessary information is not available to all providers.
