ISBAR is an easy-to remember, concrete mechanism useful for framing any conversation, especially critical ones, requiring a clinician’s immediate attention and action. It allows for an easy and focused way to set expectations for what will be communicated and how between members of the team, which is essential for developing teamwork and fostering a culture of patient safety. ❖ What is ISBAR? The ISBAR framework represents a standardized approach to communication which can be used in any situation. It stands for Introduction, Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation. ❖ What are the advantages of ISBAR? 1. The ISBAR framework Ensures completeness of information and reduces likelihood of missed data. 2. Is an easy and focused way to set expectations for what will be communicated? 3. Ensures a recommendation is clear and professional. 4. Gives confidence in communication. 5. Focuses not on the people who are communicating but on the problem itself. Why would I use ISBAR? Key reasons for using ISBAR are 1. It is portable, memorable and easy to use 2. Can be used to present information clearly in any situation 3. Helps you to organize what you’re going to say 4. Standardizes communication between everyone What are the elements of the ISBAR Framework? The ISBAR framework is simple. It consists of 5 elements that focus a conversation to relevant detail. This helps to focus the information and eliminate irrelevant information. These elements are 35 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book I – Introduction Who you are, your role, where you are and why you are communicating S – Situation what is happening at the moment? B – Background what are the issues that led up to this situation? A – Assessment what do you believe the problem is? R – Recommendation what should be done to correct this situation? Where can ISBAR are used? The ISBAR format can be used in all forms of communication: Clinical Handover Referrals Reports (Ward etc) Protocols, memos and emails Personal interactions For example: Shift changes Discharge to community services Inter-hospital transfers Intra-hospital transfers Time-critical situations such as medical emergencies or evacuations Procedure documents Reports, memorandums and briefings. Who can use ISBAR? Because it focuses on the issue at hand, it means that those of different discipline and seniority will speak the same language. This allows more effective communication. ISBAR creates a shared mental model for the transfer of relevant, factual, concise information between clinicians. It flattens the hierarchy and so eliminates the power differences that may inhibit information flow. Doctor to Doctor, Nurse to Nurse, 36 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book Nurse to Doctor, Doctor to Allied Health To and between ward staff, housekeeping and clerical staff). Key tips for preparing for ISBAR:- 1. Preparation is vital , with the reason of the referral being absolutely clear 2. Having written, prepared questions will assist. 3. It is important to gather all patient information before handover e.g charts, ECG, CXR. 4. Take notes and record any instructions. 5. ISBAR works best when both parties are using the same framework. 37 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book 38 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book ISBAR case scenario: Emergency nurse using SBAR framework regarding a pediatric patient admitted with vomiting and abdominal pain Here is how the nurse would quickly provide information to the pediatrician I I am miss Mona, specialized nurse, from emergency unite, are u Identify doctor ahmed ?

The term Patient Classification Systems refers to measurement systems in nursing that reflect actual patient care needs for staffing purposes. The term also is referred to as Acuity Systems, although the concept of “Acuity” denotes unidimensional illness severity in the medical sense. Operational Definition A Patient Classification/Acuity System (PCAS) is defined as “the methods and processes of determining, validating and monitoring individual patient care requirements over time in order to assist in such determinations as: unit staffing, patient assignments, case mix analysis, budget planning and defense, per patient cost of nursing services, variable billing and the maintenance of quality assurance standards” Includes critical system elements as well as various ways the resulting data can be used. confirms that a tool or measure with rules and definitions is used to determine patient care requirements includes processes for validating and monitoring the measure and its outcomes over time PCAS data can be used for: ✓ unit staffing ✓ equal workload distribution 41 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book ✓ quality of care maintenance ✓ budget development ✓ costing out care ✓ organizational processes Patient Classification System ✓ Focuses on patient needs. ✓ Patients are grouped according to the acuity of their needs and the degree of their dependency on nurses. Patients grouped according to their nursing needs into 4 groups: Purpose of patient classification system 1. Determine the required nursing hours needed to provide safe and efficient patient care based on standards of care and practice 2. Determine the number and category of staff (skill mix) needed for providing quality of patient care. 3. Enhance staff satisfaction through stress free work environment 4. Categorize patients according to their needs and the time and skill needed to satisfy each category needs. 5. Determine work load and nursing care requirements. 42 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book Time Scheduling 43 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book Intended learning outcomes: At the end of this session, the student will be able to: Define time scheduling Explain objectives of time scheduling Apply one method of patient classification system to determine staffing needs Definition of time scheduling It means the distribution of working hours for each employee in a particular unit for a given period of time. It is a planning pattern of on-off duty hours for employees Objectives of time scheduling To ensure patient`s care needs without over or under staffing To maximize the use of nursing staff power and to optimize the use of professional expertise To know well in advance what individual schedules are. To ensure fair treatment of nursing staff in their distribution To achieve balanced distribution of days off To satisfy personnel both as to work hours and as to perceive sense of equity To consider the unique needs of the staff as well as the patient Principles of time scheduling 1. Provide schedule for 4-8 weeks at a time. 2. Head nurse (HN) never has off duty on Saturday which is the beginning of the week. 3.One day off must be planned between of the HN and the assistant head nurse for adequate reporting. 44 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book 4. Do not give night shift to the head nurse 5. Night shifts should be followed by days off (sleeping days) before working any other shifts (morning, or afternoon shifts) 6. No accumulation of days on to insure adequate rest and relaxation for staff members. 7. Slight overlapping time should be kept between shifts to provide chance for shift report. 8. Ensure flexibility to overcome personnel needs such as sick leaves, vacations, and holidays. 9. Equal distribution of desirable and undesirable work hours. 10. Special requests should be granted if reasonable. 11. Provide a professional nurse on duty at all times during 24 hours period. 12. After completing schedule; changes should be more limited. 13. Notify staff regarding schedule changes before having duty hours with sufficient time. Hospital policies related to time schedule Hospital scheduling policies must be identified at the time of employment. ❖ Who is responsible for scheduling (by title) ❖ Time covered by each schedule. ❖ Dates for posting schedule. ❖ Day beginning the work week. ❖ Beginning and ending time for shifts. ❖ Length of meal or break time. ❖ Identify number of nurses in the unit ❖ Numbers of work hours per month. ❖ Numbers of sequential works days. ❖ Numbers of sequential days off ❖ Numbers of weekends off per month. ❖ Number of nurses in morning shift should be more than afternoon and night shift because of the work overload in the morning shift than other shifts ❖ No. of paid holidays / year. 45 2023- 2024 Nursing Administration Clinical Practicum Book Systems of developing time scheduling Centralized scheduling It done by top manager for all nurses in all departments usually manually or by computer Decentralized scheduling It planned at the unit level, usually by the head nurse. Self-scheduling It is a process by which nurses and other staff develop and implement hospital policies related to time scheduling and variables affecting it. So, staff nurses set their wishes on schedule and wait for response from head nurse Approaches of Time scheduling There are two basic approaches for scheduling: - The manual approach One or several persons prepare a schedule for a specified time for a group of personnel on one nursing unit, several divisions or an entire institution. The Computerized approach Computerized scheduling allows for maintaining the patterns to be used and the choice of employee and the planning of holidays, days off and vacations. All data necessary for time scheduling are fed to the computer and a program for scheduling is designed based on the fed data. The computerized scheduling is more effective than the other types.
