What does SBAR create in a healthcare setting?

  1. A prospective analysis tool

  2. A shared model for effective information transfer

  3. Essential requirement for policy making

  4. Methodology for performance improvement

The correct answer is: A prospective analysis tool

SBAR is a communication tool that stands for Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation. The tool is used to structure and standardize communication in healthcare settings, ensuring that essential information is effectively transferred between healthcare providers. Option B is incorrect because while SBAR does create a shared model for effective information transfer, it is not the purpose or main outcome of using SBAR. Option C is incorrect because SBAR is not an essential requirement for policy making, but rather a tool used in communication. Option D is incorrect because SBAR is not a methodology for performance improvement, but rather a tool used in communication to improve outcomes and patient safety.
