The SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) technique is used to provide a clear and concise patient handoff. 'Situation' involves briefly explaining the current situation and reason for transport. 'Background' provides relevant patient history. 'Assessment' includes the nurse's evaluation of the patient's condition. 'Recommendation' suggests the next steps. Using all four elements ensures comprehensive communication. Focusing solely on flight time or the patient's condition without using the full SBAR structure can lead to incomplete information transfer.
