SBAR is a standardized way of communicating with other healthcare givers. It promotes patient safety because it helps physicians and nurses communicate with each other. Staff and physicians can use SBAR to share what information is important about a patient. It improves efficiency because this standardized form of communication helps caregivers speak about patients in a concise and complete way.
Utilized extensively in medicine, and originating from the nuclear submarine service, SBAR stands for:
- Situation
- Background
- Assessment
- Recommendation

It is a good idea to use the SBAR approach with your clinical instructor also. Especially if you have Bromme....know everything you need to know before you approach the instructor for help. Good practice.
Good tip! Thanks, Maureen!
