What is SIBR? (pronounced "cyber")
Structured Interdisciplinary Bedside Rounds
The #1 model of team rounds – research-backed, efficient, and patient-centered
A 6-step communication protocol to create a shared mental model of who says what, when, and in what sequence
Brings the Bedside Nurse, Physician, & Allied Health to the patient's bedside to synthesize mutually supported plans of care and discharge.

The Joint Commission cited us for having patients on oxygen without an order, so we added it to the checklist. Now it gets reviewed every SIBR, across 6 physician teams. I haven’t seen a simpler rollout of a QI initiative
Director of Hospital Medicine

This is by far the most efficient, effective, safest method that I've ever been part of. It's been a privilege for me to be part of this – the highlight of my career.

Quality improved while reducing costs by about $1,500 - $2,000 per patient per stay before versus after, and it also improved the same when we compared to a control group across the city.
Dr Jon Manheim
Unit Medical Director, US
We recognize change fast because we're attending rounds daily, so when someone starts to do really well and maybe not do so well, it's recognized that day, not a week later.

How It Works
SIBR Reduces Adverse Events by Creating Proactive Care Teams
A structured, standardized discharge huddle…
Review barriers, pre-admission details, needs & supports, and next site.
…for every patient, every morning…
Hardwire into the morning workflow, no matter who the physician is.
...with the whole care team…
Convene the hospitalist, bedside nurse, care manager, and pharmacist
…including bedside nurses …
Avoid discharge delays from common issues like mobility and delayed BMs.
…everyone arriving prepared…
Routines, training, and preparation for a well-oiled process
…planning a safe discharge.
A unified team creates an efficient discharge.
