Despite its benefits, integration in pediatric clinical practice faces several challenges. These include:
- Communication Barriers: Different specialists may have varying communication styles and terminologies, which can hinder effective collaboration. - Resource Limitations: Limited access to technology and specialist services, particularly in rural or low-income areas, can impede integration. - Coordination Issues: Coordinating care among multiple providers can be complex and time-consuming.
Addressing these challenges requires ongoing efforts to improve communication, increase resource availability, and streamline coordination processes.
