Effort waste in nursing is problematic for several reasons:
Patient Safety: Effort waste can lead to errors and omissions, jeopardizing patient safety and quality of care. Nurse Burnout: Continually engaging in low-value activities can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion. Resource Utilization: Wasted efforts mean that valuable resources such as time, energy, and materials are not being used efficiently. Operational Costs: Inefficiencies contribute to higher operational costs for healthcare facilities, impacting overall financial performance.
