What Challenges Affect Patient Flow in Pediatrics?
Several challenges can impact patient flow in pediatrics:
- High Demand: Pediatric departments often deal with a high volume of patients, particularly during flu season or outbreaks of infectious diseases. - Complex Cases: Children with chronic conditions or rare diseases require more time for diagnosis and treatment. - Parental Involvement: Parents or guardians must be informed and involved in every step, adding another layer of complexity.
