Handover and report/charting/documentation

Hi,

I'm not sure if there are differences between countries, which I am sure there would be, but I am interested in how you prepare for verbal handover (I think it is referred to as report in the US?) and the documentation/charting. Do you have a set formula that you use?

    SBAR. You can google it for more info...but it is a system that helps "gather" your thoughts for report.

    S-Situation-why here, most recent treatments, meds, special considerations, most recent pain meds, special precautions such as seizure or fall precautions.

    B-Background-history, allergies, etc.

    A-Assessment-Current condition, most recent vitals, labs if pertinent to situation, any new findings, etc.

    R-Recommendation-What you think needs to be done, I include pending diagnostics here, etc.

    If you look it up I am sure it will be much more detailed. Works for me.
