Description

The SBAR is designed to enhance the nursing evaluation of, and documentation for residents who have an acute change in condition. This tool is intended to help structure and improve communication with primary care clinicians.

SITUATION documents change in condition, signs and symptoms, when they started, things that make the situation better or worse and more
BACKGROUND documents resident/patient description, medication alerts, vital signs and physical and mental statuses
APPEARANCE prompts RN for an at-a-glance assessment or LPN to describe appearance of resident/patient
REVIEW and NOTIFY documents via convenient check boxes and written narrative requested response
