Blazin LJ, Sitthi-Amorn J, Hoffman JM, et al. Improving patient handoffs and transitions through adaptation and implementation of I-PASS across multiple handoff settings. Pediatr Qual Saf. 2020;5(4):e323. doi:10.1097/pq9.0000000000000323.
This article describes one pediatric hospital’s experience adapting and implementing the I-PASS handoff program for inpatient nursing bedside report, physician handoff, and imaging/procedures handoff. The project demonstrates that I-PASS can be successfully used across a hospital system in various settings to reduce handoff-related errors.
