Definition & calculation
Numerator: Number of supportive supervision or clinical mentoring visits actually conducted (with a documented report) during the reporting period
Denominator: Number of supportive supervision or mentoring visits planned/scheduled in the work plan for the reporting period
Divide completed visits (with a documented report) by the number of visits scheduled in the work plan for the period.
Formula: (Numerator ÷ Denominator) × 100
Means of verification
Supervision visit reports; activity work plan; supervision checklists
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Per activity cycle / continuous
Guidance & common pitfalls
A process/completion measure of implementation, not of service quality. Count only visits with documented findings, not brief or undocumented drop-ins.
