SBAR is used as a situational briefing, so the team is "on the same page." It is used across all types of agencies, groups, and even in e-mails. SBAR simplifies verbal communication between nurses and physicians because content is presented in an expected format. Some hospitals use laminated SBAR guidelines at the telephones for nurses to use when calling physicians about changes in client status and requests for new orders. Documenting the new order is the only part of SBAR that gets recorded.
