Comparative Study
SBAR improves nurse-physician communication and reduces unexpected death: A pre and post intervention study.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation) on the incidence of serious adverse events (SAE's) in hospital wards. ⋯ After introducing SBAR we found increased perception of effective communication and collaboration in nurses, an increase in unplanned ICU admissions and a decrease in unexpected deaths.
