Ans) The SBAR is a powerful tool that is used to improve the effectiveness of communication between individuals.

Background:

Assessment:

- A statement of your professional conclusion.

Recommendation:

- What do you need from this individual?

- For example, ‘Please clarify which is the correct dose of Coumadin for Mr. Jones to take and which physician will be responsible for managing his anticoagulant therapy?’
