Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine
  • Patient Safety

Context:

  • Perioperative environments are high-risk for communication errors.
  • The German Society for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (DGAI) updated recommendations in March 2022.
  • Structured communication tools are often studied within broader patient safety initiatives.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the importance of structured communication in the perioperative setting.
  • To endorse the Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) template for improved handovers.
  • To emphasize the need for standardization in implementing communication tools.

Summary:

  • The Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) approach offers a guideline for team communication, enhancing handover quality.
  • Standardized workflows are crucial for consistent SBAR template use, identifying and resolving communication barriers.
  • A shared understanding and training in SBAR techniques foster a culture of patient safety.

Impact:

  • Improved quality of patient handovers in high-risk perioperative settings.
  • Identification and mitigation of common communication barriers.
  • Establishment of a patient safety culture through interprofessional teamwork and leadership support.
