• In this course we will talk about communication, specifically; we will talk about the SBAR method of communication. This method was developed to ensure that healthcare professionals communicate effectively with each other. This type of communication is necessary in order to avoid errors and ensure your patients receive quality care.

Hi I'm Joe. I'm a patient care tech at Getwell hospital. I just started and things haven't been going well so far. Several accidents have happened and my patients have suffered.

I'm not sure what is going on but I need to fix it.

First Objective-screen1Page Title: Meet Joe

My boss said that I need to work on my communication skills but I don't see how that could be the problem.

Look at the following hand-off I had with Jane the other day.

"Hi Jane,

Thanks for coming to get Mr. Winkler he's all ready to be taken up. I'll see you later."

First Objective-screen2Page Title: Communication

Shortly after this Jane tried to transfer Mr Winkler to a wheelchair and she ended up dropping him. The next day she yelled at me for not telling her about Mr Winkler's assistance needs.

First Objective-screen3Page Title: Patient Fall

First Objective-screen4

My boss said that poor communication is a primary cause of patient errors. According to one report from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, 70 percent of patient error cases were due to communication. Of the cases reported in this study, 75 percent of the patients died as a result of these errors.

With numbers like this, I can see why communication is the Joint Commission's second goal in their National Patient Safety Goals. This goal requires that facilities implement a formal approach to communication at hand-off.

The act of passing responsibility for a patient

to another person.

First Objective-screen5

I guess I could work on my communication skills then. If I focus on answering key questions about my patients like their condition or what needs to be done, that should help.

Jane told me about SBAR which could be useful in this regard.

Second Objective-screen1

Communication is a two-way street here you have the opportunity to ask and respond to questions. So thinking back to my interaction with Jane, she should have stopped me and asked for more information.

Play the video to see how this interaction should have went.

Second Objective-screen2

In order to use SBAR effectively you must include all of the components in your hand-off conversations. Some policies facilitate this level of communication by requiring formal reports to be generated and provided at hand-off; however, not all departments/units have these requirements.

I've created a SBAR job-aid that you can use if you want.
