A polynucleating oxygen donor ligand based on condensation of p-chlorophenylstibonic acid (ArSbO(3)H(2)) and t-butylphosphonic acid is reported. [(SbAr)(2)O(HO(3)P(t)Bu)(6)] contains two antimony centres, bridged by an oxide and two hydrogen phosphonates. Reaction with copper acetate under solvothermal conditions produces four new polymetallic copper complexes. With pyridine used as a base the ...

INTRODUCTION The efficiency of postoperative handover of paediatric patients to the children's intensive care unit (CICU) varies according to institutions, clinical setup and workflow. Reorganisation of handover flow based on findings from observational studies has been shown to improve the efficiency of information transfer. This study aimed to evaluate a new handover process based on recipien...

Transitions from one care provider to another put patients at increased risk of injuries and errors. A standardized approach to hand-off communication helps minimize these risks. One recognized approach to addressing this concern is the SBAR (ie, situation, background, assessment, recommendation) communication technique. Reference cards with the SBAR communication approach can be used by all st...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine staff members' perceptions of communication within and between different professions, safety attitudes and psychological empowerment, prior to and after implementation of the communication tool Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (SBAR) at an anaesthetic clinic. The aim was also to study whether there was any change in the proportion of incident reports...

Introduction Miscommunication during inter-unit handoffs between emergency and internal medicine physicians may jeopardize patient safety. Our goal was to evaluate the impact of a structured communication strategy on the quality of admission handoffs. Methods We conducted a mixed-methods, pre-test/post-test study at a 560-bed academic health center with 60,000 emergency department (ED) patien...

Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (SBAR) communication has become the standard for communicating across disciplines. It has demonstrated its effectiveness at improving patient outcomes, enhancing patient and clinician satisfaction, and helping to control healthcare costs. It can help home healthcare clinicians with efforts to prevent avoidable hospitalizations. But how often and ho...
