It provides step-by-step guidelines for preparing to call a physician, including self-assessment, team communication, chart review, and gathering essential patient information such as diagnosis, medications, vital signs, and code status. The document details each component of the SBAR process: Situation (identifying oneself, the unit, the patient, and the problem), Background (admitting diagnosis, medications, vital signs, labs, and other clinical data), Assessment (the nurse's evaluation of the situation), and Recommendation (the desired action or request from the physician). It emphasizes the importance of documenting changes in patient condition and physician notifications. The guidelines are intended to ensure clear, concise, and comprehensive communication, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and safety by minimizing misunderstandings and delays in medical intervention. The form number 861-157 and issue date October 2005 are also noted.","Form 861-157    Issued:  October 2005\n\u000f\nGUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATING WITH PHYSICIANS USING THE SBAR PROCESS\nPrior to calling the physician, follow these steps:\nHave I seen and assessed the patient myself before calling?\nHas the situation been discussed with the Nursing Coordinator or RRT?\nReview the chart for appropriate physician to call.\nKnow the admitting diagnosis and date of admission.\nHave I read the most recent MD progress notes and notes from the nurse who worked the shift ahead of me?\nHave available the following when speaking with the physician:\nPatient’s chart\nList of current medications, allergies, IV fluids, and labs\nMost recent vital signs\nReporting lab results: provide the date and time test was done and results of previous tests for comparison\nCode status\nWhen calling the physician, follow the SBAR process:\n(S) Situation:  What is the situation you are calling about?\nIdentify self, unit, patient, room number.\nBriefly state the problem, what is it, when it happened or started, and how severe.\n(B) Background: Pertinent background information related to the situation could include the following:\nThe admitting diagnosis and date of admission\nList of current medications, allergies, IV fluids, and labs\nMost recent vital signs\nLab results: provide the date and time test was done and results of previous tests for comparison\nOther clinical information\nCode status\n(A) Assessment: What is the nurse’s assessment of the situation?\n(R) Recommendation: What is the nurse’s recommendation or what does he/she want?\nExamples:\nNotification that patient has been admitted\nPatient needs to be seen now\nOrder change\nDocument the change in the patient’s condition and physician notification.","cbCaicGmF6IJMvy1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicGmF6IJMvy1","doc",57856,3,"English","en",105,"# GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATING WITH PHYSICIANS USING THE SBAR PROCESS\n## Prior to calling the physician\n## When calling the physician, follow the SBAR process:\n### (S) Situation\n### (B) Background\n### (A) Assessment\n### (R) Recommendation","[{\"question\":\"What is the SBAR process used for in healthcare?\",\"answer\":\"The SBAR process is a standardized communication tool used by healthcare professionals to effectively communicate with physicians and other team members about a patient's condition.\"},{\"question\":\"What information should be prepared before calling a physician?\",\"answer\":\"Before calling a physician, one should have assessed the patient, discussed the situation with a nursing coordinator if necessary, reviewed the chart for the correct physician, know the admitting diagnosis and admission date, and read recent progress notes and notes from the previous shift.
