Ease of integration is crucial for several reasons:
1. Patient Safety: Effective integration ensures that there are no lapses in patient care. For instance, when new nurses join a team, they need to be quickly brought up to speed on hospital protocols to maintain a high standard of care. 2. Staff Productivity: When new technologies or practices are introduced, seamless integration helps in maintaining or even improving staff productivity. 3. Cost-Efficiency: Proper integration can reduce costs associated with training, errors, and inefficiencies. 4. Employee Satisfaction: A smooth integration process can improve job satisfaction, reducing turnover rates among nursing staff.
