Having been a nurse almost 40 years in many critical care areas (and now an educator) and having read a lot about SBAR and been a nurse when SBAR was first introduced, I have some insight. A nurse's physician assessment findings are certainly valid, but A-assessment was originally intended for the nurse to assert what they think is going on (a medical diagnosis of sorts) and then the R-recommendation of what they recommend happen. Providers like smart, assertive (while being respectful) nurses who can be their eyes and ears. One's A-assessment (e.g., I worried he's septic") might be off or even wrong, but go ahead and ASSERT yourself.
Hi @kathleenflatley3973! 😊 Great question! The SBAR report is typically used for communication between healthcare professionals and isn’t usually a part of the formal medical record. It helps ensure clear and concise communication for patient care. Don't forget to subscribe for more helpful videos! 📚👍

Does this become part of the formal medical record?
