Perinatal SBAR Tool
Class,
As you have seen from the video, communication with all members of the healthcare team is critical when minutes count. It is essential that communication is clear and accurate when reporting the events around a non reassuring FHR tracing.
The SBAR (Situational – Background – Assessment – Recommendation) technique provides a framework for communication between members of the health care team about a patient’s condition. SBAR is easy to remember and is useful in any conversation, especially critical ones, that require immediate attention and action. It is an easy and focused way to set expectations for what will be communicated and how the information is communicated between team members which is essential for developing team work and fostering a culture of safety.
I am attaching a sample SBAR tool for you to review. Please post your comments or questions regarding the usefulness of this tool in the L&D setting. As you look at this tool, do you think the tool will be useful in communicating effectively to the physicians? Why? Do you think the recommendations by the nursing staff will be acted upon by physicians?
