Outline
Communication of Patient Outcomes (Continuum of Care)
Guidelines:
- SBAR Report to PACU always
- Standardized
- “Read back” method
- Call ahead before transfer
- Especially ICU
- Transfer is inherently risky
- Updating family – facility policy
Considerations:
- Pathway to handoff – ICU
- Necessary equipment
- Vent
- Warmer
- Parents
- Most relevant information first
Nurse’s role:
- Updates to family in most facilities
- Facilitate conversations with surgeons
- Report from pre-op,to post-op
- Documentation
Pitfalls:
- Too much detail to family
- Report jumbled
- “I just took over”
- Unknown plan
- Not calling ahead
Examples:
- Calling family “we expected 2 hours but it’s taking a little longer we had trouble getting her to sleep”(!!!! Family gonna freak)
Linchpins (Key Points):
- Surgical events and details needs translation before reporting out of the OR in most instances
