Solution:

Appropriate communication is highly essential in healthcare practice particularly during patient handoffs to ensure delivery of safe and quality care through reduction or elimination of medication errors, failure to rescue, and other adverse events caused by poor communication (Birmingham, Buffum, Blegen, & Lyndon, 2015). I work as in Kaiser Permanente (a stand-alone clinic) as a charge nurse in the urgent care unit. The healthcare providers experience communication challenges especially when a patient is transferred to another clinic for advanced care. Some of the challenges include failure or inability to report to the receiving care provider, reporting to the outside nurses and physicians following lack of information regarding our patient’s status and whether the patient is receiving safe and quality care. This poor communication in many time results to delays in delivering quality and safe care and consequently poor health outcomes.

An integrative literature review by Wang, Wan, Lin, Zhou, and Shang (2017) established the SBAR tool is an effective intervention for improving physicians-nurses communications in the ICU. A prospective intervention study by Randmaa, Swenne, Mårtensson, Högberg, and Engström (2016) established that SBAR enhances communication and safe atmosphere whilst reducing incident reports following communication failures in an anesthetic clinic. A systematic review by Müller et al. (2018) established that SBAR communication tool improves patient hand-off and patient safety. A study by Panesar, Albert, Messina, and Parker (2016) established that using an electronic SBAR communication tool  improves documentation of acute events that take place within the pediatric ICU. A study by Birmingham, Buffum, Blegen, and Lyndon (2015) established a relationship between handoffs and patient safety……..Please click the Paypal icon below to purchase full solution for only $10
