"SIBR highlights how good our nurses are. It enables them to be far more confident in sharing their expertise. That’s enhanced the relationships between doctors and nurses."

"SIBR rounds are a huge method of advocating for your patients because you're at the bedside with the entire team and you can do some cross checking.
If the patient shared with you that they had a concern overnight, you can bring that up right at the beginning of SIBR rounds and the whole team.
It builds accountability because you're presenting that concern right in front of the team, in front of the patient and we have to speak to it in the moment, which is really, really powerful I think for our patients to know you're being heard, your concerns are being heard. We hear you. We're going to address that for you."

"SIBR just works really well. Everybody who was negative – they’re all on board. Patients think it’s amazing. They’ve loved it."

"Millennials are our largest population of newly hired nurses. We know these young nurses want to practice in an environment that supports them as bedside leaders. The SIBR care model is the perfect scenario for them.”"

“There's things where you say, ‘Oh we can do this ourselves, we can figure this out ourselves.’
But sometimes you need some energy and knowing, ‘this thing has worked, that it's not complete lunacy that somebody has dreamed up.’
I like the credibility of it coming from clinicians. It's clinicians who put this together.”

"We had a young gentleman that was able to be part of SIBR and he was very involved with his care. After SIBR, we met in the hallway for a little bit and I said, so what's your plan of care for today?
And he was able to share, by name all of the providers involved and what their plans were for him that were agreed upon: tomorrow I know that infectious disease is going to look for my results and based on these results are going to change antibiotics. He saw [the plan] being played out ... the nurse followed up the nurse, talked to him about the antibiotics. He knew about the change, he was expecting the change. So that communication was great."

"I will not forget that first day where I had a nurse come out and say, "I didn't know that that was going to be ordered." And I went, this is why we're doing SIBR. This is the information that you don't normally get but you find at the end of your shift because you're flicking through your chart."
