What Are the Challenges in Public Health Reporting in Pediatrics?
Several challenges hinder effective public health reporting:
1. Underreporting: Some conditions, particularly mental health issues, are often underreported. 2. Data Privacy: Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of children's health information is paramount. 3. Resource Constraints: Limited resources can affect the accuracy and timeliness of reporting. 4. Technological Barriers: Inconsistent use of technology and EHRs can lead to gaps in data collection and reporting.
