I-PASS
Brief Summary:
Because communication and handoff failures are a root cause of two-thirds of "sentinel events"- serious, often fatal preventable adverse events in hospitals improving handoffs has been identified by AHRQ and the Joint Commission as a priority in nationwide efforts to improve patient safety. Comparative Effectiveness Research on handoff tools and processes has identified specific strategies to improve handoffs and reduce medical errors: 1) team training; 2) verbal mnemonics; and 3) use of written/computerized tools to supplement verbal sign-outs. To accelerate residents' use of CER-based handoff practices and improve patient safety, the investigators are implementing the three inventions above as a Resident Handoff Bundle (RHB) in eight pediatric hospitals in the United States and Canada.
Detailed Description:
The I-PASS Study was initiated in response to mounting evidence that communication and handoff failures are a root cause of two-thirds of "sentinel events" - serious, often fatal, preventable adverse events in hospitals. The Agency on Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Joint Commission have identified improving handoffs in care as a priority in nationwide efforts to improve patient safety. Research on handoff tools and processes has identified team training, introduction of verbal mnemonics, and use of written or computerized tools as strategies to improve handoffs and reduce medical errors. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of a resident handoff bundle (RHB) comprised of these three strategies in addressing medical errors, verbal and written miscommunications, and resident workflow and satisfaction.
The US Department of Health and Human Services granted $3 million in funding, with additional support provided by member institutional and private foundations. A total of nine hospitals in the United States and Canada will serve as data collection sites for the study (see list below). Staggered six-month waves of baseline data collection of medical errors and resident workflow, satisfaction, and miscommunications began in January 2010. Each site has a six-month wash-in period to implement the RHB intervention before embarking upon an additional six months of post-intervention data collection. Analysis and dissemination will begin upon completion of data collection at the last wave of sites in April 2013.
