SBAR (i.e., situation, background, assessment, recommendation) is a tool developed by Michael Leonard, MD, along with colleagues at Kaiser Permanente of Colorado, that is designed to streamline the way doctors and nurses communicate during telephone calls and patient handoffs.
SBAR is an included tool in the Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers (INTERACT II) project, a US measure to reduce rehospitalization among residents of long-term care (LTC) facilities.
