One effective form of reporting in clinical handover is the SBAR technique. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. This structured method enhances communication among healthcare professionals during patient handovers.
Handover is the system by which the responsibility for immediate and ongoing care is transferred between healthcare professions. Changing work patterns mean that establishing standards for handover should be a priority.
Try to follow an organised sequence when handing over: patient details, presenting complaint, docHub history, treatment and plan of care. Include clinical observations, pathology results, procedures etc. Dont forget to highlight allergies, and relevant patient history and other medical conditions.
Changing the location of handovers to patients bedside. Educating health-care professionals about handovers. Using a simulation-based education program on handovers. Using transforming care at the bedside improvement strategies. Combining a group of interventions.
To summarise, the five key principles of clinical handover are: Focused. Concise. Timely. Complete. Organised.
