who created the sbar tool
The SBAR (T)* (situation, background, assessment, recommendation and thank) competency checklist was used to. assess quality and consistency in report. It was created by the. Studer Group Â® as an instrument to shape handoff among ED. nurses in hospitals across the US. Using the SBAR (T) is a good. exercise for nurses to examine each otherâs documentation, assess. the patient together, and scan the environment (Baker, 2010). The SBAR (T) competency checklist has been used in hospital. systems across the US (Baker, 2010; Rush, 2012). The SBAR (T) tool was previously implemented in a large catholic hospital system. Over a period of two years, the new process resulted in a 20%. increase in nurse specific patient satisfaction questions.
