While the benefits of standardization are clear, there are several challenges that need to be addressed:
Variability in Resources: Different healthcare settings may have varying levels of resources, making it difficult to implement standardized protocols uniformly. Resistance to Change: Healthcare professionals may be resistant to adopting new guidelines, particularly if they are used to existing practices. Patient Variability: Individual patient differences can make it challenging to apply standardized protocols to every case. Keeping Up with Evidence: The rapid pace of research means that guidelines need to be frequently updated, which can be resource-intensive.
