What Are the Challenges Faced by AHRQ in the Field of Epidemiology?
Despite its significant contributions, AHRQ faces several challenges:
1. Data Privacy: Ensuring the confidentiality and security of patient data while making it accessible for research purposes is a major challenge. 2. Funding Limitations: Limited funding can restrict the scope and scale of epidemiological research and initiatives. 3. Integration of Data: Integrating data from diverse sources to create a comprehensive picture of public health issues is complex and resource-intensive.
