Organizing the report with a structured framework such as SBAR and using clear, standardized medical terminology ensure that all critical information is conveyed in an organized, universally understood manner. Evidence-based guidelines emphasize avoiding slang, unexplained abbreviations, or informal language because they increase the likelihood of misunderstanding. Conducting the report in a distraction-free environment and including all relevant clinical details further supports client safety. In contrast, relying on unit-specific jargon, omitting details the sender thinks are redundant, or multitasking in a busy hallway have all been linked to communication failures and preventable adverse events.
