SBAR TOOL FOR CLINICAL HANDOFFS

SBAR is a reliable and validated communication tool that can be easily implemented in hospital-based practice for sharing information among healthcare providers; however, there are limitations to use in patients with complex medical histories and care plans, especially in the critical care setting. The SBAR tool requires training of all clinical staff so that communication is well understood. It requires a culture change to adopt and sustain structured communication formats by all healthcare providers
