What are the Challenges in Addressing Performance Overhead?
Despite the benefits, several challenges hinder the reduction of performance overhead:
1. Resource Constraints: Many public health agencies operate with limited budgets and staff. Investing in automation and training may not always be feasible.
2. Data Privacy and Security: Ensuring the privacy and security of health data is paramount. Implementing robust security measures can add to the overhead.
3. Interoperability: Different systems and organizations may use incompatible data formats and technologies, complicating data sharing and integration.
4. Resistance to Change: Adopting new technologies and workflows often encounters resistance from stakeholders accustomed to traditional methods.
