SBAR is a communication tool that standardizes the transfer of key clinical information among healthcare professionals. It provides a structured way to communicate the situation, background, assessment, and recommendation in a concise yet informative manner. This helps reduce errors and call-backs by ensuring the right information is conveyed. Implementing SBAR can help create a more collaborative environment and improve communication between clinical and support staff.
