SBAR Training

We had an awesome CEU program in our Haverhill office by a nurse practitioner named Sue Jamison from Educational Solutions for Long Term Care on SBAR communication. It was really interesting. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment and Resolution. It is a system for health professionals to have precise and consistent communication with each other to relay a client's condition or a concern. The training helped us all to think about what needs to be communicated NOW to solve a client's problem. It seemed awesome for a facility, but I can definitely see how it could be applied to home health care. We may try to find a way to take this idea and create an in service for our aides on communication.
