A lack of proper monitoring and supervision of clinics in the King William's Town Health District (Eastern Cape) was highlighted by members of the public in the local newspaper, The Daily Dispatch, during 1999. A clinic audit conducted by the Health Information Unit of the King William's Town Health District further revealed the inadequacies of clinic supervision in this district. This article describes the qualitative study that was conducted with the aim of optimising clinic supervision in this health district. The study brought to light two issues that appear to be paramount in ensuring optimal clinic supervision. These are: The importance of formal and informal preparation of clinic supervisors for the supervisory role The support system that the clinic supervisors require to perform their duties effectively. The focus of this article will be on the discussion of the research findings as well as guidelines that were developed to optimise clinic supervision.
1999年，东开普省威廉国王镇卫生区的民众在当地报纸《每日快报》上强调了对该地区诊所缺乏适当监测和监督的问题。威廉国王镇卫生区卫生信息股进行的一次诊所审计进一步揭示了该地区诊所监督的不足之处。本文描述了为优化该卫生区诊所监督而进行的定性研究。该研究揭示了在确保最佳诊所监督方面似乎至关重要的两个问题。它们是：诊所监督员为履行监督职责进行正式和非正式准备的重要性；诊所监督员有效履行职责所需的支持系统。本文的重点将是对研究结果的讨论以及为优化诊所监督而制定的指导方针。
