SBAR Intake & Triage Communication Template

Standardized SBAR-based script and form for triage clinicians to improve handoffs and reduce ambiguity.

Template fields: Situation (chief complaint, arrival mode), Background (relevant history, allergies, meds), Assessment (vital signs, acuity score), Recommendation (next step, disposition suggestion). Use cases: ED triage, clinic intake, inbound transfers. Implementation guidance: embed into EHR triage form and include quick prompts for escalation thresholds.
