In the clinical setting, fragmented data can result in incomplete or inaccurate patient records. For instance, a neonate with a complex medical history may have data scattered across different hospital departments or even multiple healthcare providers. This fragmentation can lead to:
Delayed diagnosis due to missing or inaccessible information. Inconsistent treatment plans as healthcare providers may not have a full picture of the patientâs condition. Increased risk of medical errors and adverse events.
