SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) is a communication tool used for handoffs within healthcare settings, particularly for critical information that needs to be clearly and quickly communicated. Transferring a patient to radiology would require concise and comprehensive communication about the patient's current situation, background, assessment findings, and any recommendations for ongoing care or observations, making SBAR an appropriate tool for this scenario.
