Once there is open sharing about what care is missed, the extent and type of missed nursing care on any given patient care unit can be compiled. Using the MISSCARE Survey on a regular basis and tracking the results help staff members become and remain informed about missed nursing care on their patient care unit. A root-cause analysis of the reasons for missed nursing care also needs to be conducted. Why, for example, are patients not receiving mouth care on this unit? This information will provide insight into the problem at the local level and, typically, will lead to solutions. Outcome targets, such as 90 percent of our patients will be ambulated three times a day, need to be established by the nursing staff.
