Part I: SBAR Defining the Problem

Situation:This section includes a concise statement of the current situation the facts, no drama, and minus all of the symptoms.

Background:This section includes a concise statement of the relevant background data points that need to be taken into account as you decide how to move forward.

Assessment:This section outlines the author's analysis of the current situation. If the "S" is the "what," then the "A" is the "so what."

Recommendations:This section contains the author's recommended action and next steps. These recommendations need to be focused on improving or solving the situation with attention to the unique circumstances in the background.

SBAR Guidelines: SBAR does not happen in a vacuum. Make sure to do the following:

• Carefully think through the problem and your approach.
• Organize your facts according to the SBAR checklist. Be as brief as possible, while including all the relevant data.
