Promoting patient safety thorough minimising missed nursing care: A recommended good practice guidance for nurse managers

This document is intended to provide nurse managers with an outline of relevant data sources which examine and contextualise the impact of missed care. Critically it contains a number of suggestions for data gathering and interventions which may help them to support and give nurses some orientations to make effective decisions when faced with challenges or shortages. It is not prescriptive, rather it should be seen as a practical guidance designed to support managers and nurses in clinical leadership positions in all care settings, to address the antecedents of missed and rationed care.
