ISBAR is a communication framework used in healthcare to ensure clear and effective information exchange. It stands for Identification, Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. This structured approach helps healthcare professionals convey critical information about a patient’s condition, facilitating better decision-making and patient safety. The ISBAR method is particularly useful during handoffs or when escalating concerns about a patient’s health. By following this format, providers can systematically present relevant details, ensuring that all team members understand the patient's needs and can respond appropriately. This enhances teamwork and improves overall care quality.
