SBAR
SBAR Purpose:
The SBAR tool is a strategy to improve communication from clinician to physician, clinician-to-clinician and/or staff to manager. SBAR was adapted from the US Navy Nuclear Submarine Service. Submarine officers and crew needed a situational briefing model to communicate clearly, effectively and efficiently. SBAR organizes the message in a consistent and concise manner. SBAR has been adapted successfully into health care.
