Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation

SBAR stands for:

Situation

•Identify yourself and your role

•Briefly describe the circumstances

situation

"Good Morning. My name is Lauri, a physical therapy student on the inpatient rehab unit. I was working with patient X in the rehab gym and his blood pressure dropped to 80/60mmHg. He was immediately brought back to his room and assisted back to bed.”

This is an example of:

Background

•Inform the receiver of the information of the background to the respective situation

background

"Mr. X had stable blood pressure for the last 2 days during therapy. He was able to walk 100 feet in therapy with close supervision. He started to get dizzy the last 30 feet. He reported he didn’t receive his blood pressure medicine until 30 minutes before PT. "

This is an example of:

Assessment

•State your overall impression of the case

assessment

"I believe a possible cause of Mr. X's low BP may be the timing of his medication before therapy today."

This is an example of:

Recommendation

•Explain what you need - be specific about request and time frame

•Make suggestions

•Clarify expectations

Recommendation

"Can we try coordinating his future therapy sessions at least 2-3 hours after he has received his medications? If the patient does not improve, what time frame should we discuss this again? What else can we try?"
