Data Collection: Comprehensive and accurate data collection is often difficult due to fragmented healthcare systems. 2. Variability in Treatment Protocols: Different healthcare providers may follow different treatment guidelines, leading to variability in utilization rates. 3. Patient Compliance: Not all patients adhere to recommended follow-up visits and treatments, affecting utilization data.
