Several models can be used for structuring nursing handovers. Some commonly used models include:
1. SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation): This model provides a clear framework for communicating critical information succinctly. 2. ISBAR (Introduction, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation): This is an extension of SBAR that adds an 'Introduction' step to enhance clarity. 3. I-PASS (Illness severity, Patient summary, Action list, Situation awareness and contingency planning, Synthesis by receiver): This model is comprehensive and covers various aspects of patient care and planning.
