How Do Implementation Gaps Affect Health Outcomes?
Implementation gaps can have a significant impact on health outcomes in children:
1. Delayed Diagnosis and Treatment: Gaps in knowledge and resources can lead to delays in diagnosing and treating conditions, worsening the prognosis.
2. Inconsistent Care: Variability in the quality of care can result in uneven health outcomes, with some children receiving suboptimal treatment.
3. Increased Morbidity and Mortality: Poor implementation of evidence-based practices can lead to higher rates of morbidity and mortality among pediatric patients.
