The process is monitored for compliance and subsequent action plans are implemented to address any gaps in documentation or the process involved.

The tool consists of standardised prompt questions within four sections, to ensure that staff are sharing concise and focused information. It allows staff to communicate assertively and effectively, reducing the need for repetition (Institute of Innovation 2009) At the Lady well unit, SBAR communication tools are provided in the form of telephone communication sheets and escalation or handover stickers to apply to patient notes. 4.
