Using the SBAR4 model for management of a patient with complex comorbidites in the home care setting - A case study

ABSTRACT

This home care case illustrates how the SBAR4 model can be used for a complex patient during a transitional care period to define the active problems at hand and the conditions needed to ensure successful outcomes of the management plans. Two home visits are described in this article first, a home visit done after multiple hospital admissions for fluid overload and congestive cardiac failure; and second, a subsequent visit done after a fall with a resultant clavicle fracture impacting patient’s function and self-care abilities
