ISBAR handover for each patient. You should use the components of the clinical reasoning cycle (questions given below) to guide your ISBAR handover.
You should aim to answer these questions as part of your ISBAR handover:
1. What is the pathophysiology of the client’s current condition(s)? What is your assessment of the client’s current medication including pharmacology and pharmacokinetics? (The aim in regard to the pathophysiology content is to look at the links between the current condition and any other conditions the patient has. For example, Sebastian Jones has a leg ulcer, how is this linked to diabetes and hypertension? What is the impact of these on the leg ulcer.)
2. Consider the patient/collect cues- what information do you have?
3. Assessments required- What further information do you need or would like prior to your visit?
4. Identify problem/Issue- why are you visiting them? What will you do once there?
5. Establish Goal- What is it that you aim to achieve through your care and how will you undertake the care required?
6. Evaluation- what strategies will you use to evaluate the outcomes?
