The illness severity component of the I-PASS handoff can identify patients at higher risk of overnight clinical deterioration and has the potential to help the overnight residents prioritize patient care.

The illness severity component of the I-PASS handoff can identify patients at higher risk of overnight clinical deterioration and has the potential to help the overnight residents prioritize patient care.

2020年10月1日 · We evaluated whether illness severity categories can identify patients at higher risk of overnight clinical deterioration as defined by activation of the rapid response team (RRT).

In 2012, Starmer et al. developed the IPASS (illness severity, patient summary, action items, situation awareness and contingency planning, synthesis by receiver) mnemonic to help prevent error in verbal patient handoffs.

I-PASS is an evidence-based package of interventions created to reduce communication failures during patient handoffs and transitions of care. In a large multicenter trial, I-PASS was associated with a 30% reduction in medical errors that harm patients (NEJM 2014).

2014年11月10日 · The IPASS system asks the doctor to offer five types of information at the time of handoff in both written and verbal form. IPASS is an acronym standing for “illness severity,” “patient summary,” “action list,” “situation awareness …

2017年9月6日 · Inclusion of six key elements of handoffs improved as follows. Illness severity improved from 5% to 97%, diagnosis from 60% to 100%, patient summary from 71% to 100%, contingency planning from 10% to 100%, action list from 23% to 100%, and receiver synthesis from 0% to 97%.

2023年3月1日 · The aim of this study was to implement a standardized, hospital-based bedside handoff report (IPASS [Illness severity, Patient summary, Action items, Situational awareness, and Synthesis]) in prehospital pediatric critical care transport to increase patient safety by eliminating the risk of misreporting or omitting critical patient care ...

A key component of the I-PASS handoff included assignment of illness severity. Objective: We evaluated whether illness severity categories can identify patients at higher risk of overnight clinical deterioration as defined by activation of the rapid response team (RRT).

2020年12月2日 · Standardized handoff tools can reduce adverse events among hospitalized patients. This retrospective cohort study found that the I-PASS handoff tool’s illness severity assessment can identify patients at higher risk of overnight clinical deterioration and rapid response team (RRT) activation.
