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.
Physicians are taught to communicate using brief âbullet pointsâ that provide only the key information to the listener. The following is an example of a nurse call to a physician using SBAR: Dr. Jones, this is Deb McDonald RN, I am calling from ABC Hospital about your patient Jane Smith..ere is how SBAR works: 1  First, quickly organize the briefing information in your mind or on paper using the four elements (Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation) in sequence. 2  Only the most relevant data is included, and everything irrelevant or of secondary importance is excluded.
