18 Challenges Things to consider when performing program tasks and responsibilities pose challenges due to: Conflicting medical evidence or recommendations Competing priorities Need to document policy decisions for a new and changing Program Transforming concepts/ideas into detailed policies and procedures is challenging: When drawing lines based upon lack of sufficient information When many aspects of the program are in constant flux due to issues that arise from early phases of program implementation and development
