SBAR

SBAR is an easy-to-remember, concrete mechanism useful for framing any conversation, especially critical ones, requiring a clinician’s immediate attention and action. SBAR promotes quality and patient safety, primarily because it helps individuals communicate with each other with a shared set of expectations. Staff and physicians use SBAR to share patient information in a clear, complete, concise and structured format; improving communication efficiency and accuracy.The SBAR technique has become the Joint Commission's stated industry best practice for standardized communication in healthcare.Originally developed by the United States Navy as a communication technique, SBAR has been adopted by hospitals and care facilities around the world as a simple yet effective way to standardize communication between care givers.
