Several challenges can hinder effective coordination in cancer care:
1. Communication Breakdown: Lack of effective communication among healthcare providers can lead to misunderstandings and delays in treatment. 2. Geographical Barriers: Patients in rural or remote areas may find it difficult to access specialized care, complicating coordination efforts. 3. Fragmented Healthcare Systems: Different healthcare systems and providers may not be well-integrated, leading to fragmented care. 4. Financial Constraints: Financial barriers can limit access to necessary treatments and services, affecting overall care coordination.
