SBAR
SBAR is a communication framework used in healthcare to facilitate clear and concise information exchange. It stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. This structured approach helps healthcare professionals convey critical information about a patient's condition efficiently, ensuring that everyone involved understands the key points.
The Situation describes the current issue, while the Background provides relevant context about the patient's history. The Assessment offers the healthcare provider's evaluation of the situation, and the Recommendation suggests the next steps for care. Using SBAR enhances teamwork and improves patient safety by minimizing misunderstandings.
