- Abstract
Aim: Clinical supervision is proposed as a solution‐focused approach that supports nurses in busy health care environments, helping address the mounting incidents of missed care. Background: The pervasive nature of missed nursing care is concerning. The growing body of evidence on missed care predominantly focuses on types and causes. However, the effectiveness of solution‐focused interventions used to reduce incidents of missed care has received less attention. Methods: Drawing on the literature, it is proposed that clinical supervision supports personal and professional development, positive working environments and quality patient care outcomes, and therefore reduces missed care incidents. Results: Clinical supervision fosters a supportive working environment where opportunities to critically reflect on caring values are provided, commitment to improving standards of care is nurtured, and courage to challenge care standards is encouraged. Conclusion: In an era of reports highlighting declining standards of nursing care and a wealth of evidence highlighting the benefits of clinical supervision, it remains underused in many areas of nursing. Implications for Nursing Management: Nurse managers need to recognize the value of clinical supervision in improving standards of nursing care and assume leadership in its successful implementation.
