If consideration is itemized for each thing exchanged, a severable contract often exists. If a contract contains both legal and illegal clauses, the court will attempt to enforce only the legal clauses in the event the contract is already a severable contract. If the court can employ a blue pencil test to create a severable contract, it will.
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.
The SBAR (T)* (situation, background, assessment, recommendation and thank) competency checklist was used to. assess quality and consistency in report. It was created by the. Studer Group Â® as an instrument to shape handoff among ED. nurses in hospitals across the US. Using the SBAR (T) is a good. exercise for nurses to examine each otherâs documentation, assess. the patient together, and scan the environment (Baker, 2010). The SBAR (T) competency checklist has been used in hospital. systems across the US (Baker, 2010; Rush, 2012). The SBAR (T) tool was previously implemented in a large catholic hospital system. Over a period of two years, the new process resulted in a 20%. increase in nurse specific patient satisfaction questions.
