Sets with similar termsNo alignment on terminology standards for nursing content definition. Therefore, patient data cannot be shared across care settings.
Demand for customized content does not allow for standardization of the EHR.
Expensive and resource-intensive to map local content to reference terminologies
Standardized terminologies have licensing fees for use in order to provide support to the customer. Those without licensing fees might not have the resources for routine maintenance and updates to the terminology.
Lack of documentation of nursing data in the EHR related to the lack of adoption of the terminologies, high patient workload, and poor design. Some of the EHR designs for nursing were based upon the paper-based system.
