Supporting doctors and nurses in using the program. Creating a guide for and training mentor teams. After rounds, doctors and nurses give families written summaries about what was discussed.Įach hospital has doctors, nurses, and family members who work to make the program part of routine care. Staff make sure rounds cover everything important for the patient’s care. #HEALTH IPASS COMPETITORS HOW TO#
Doctors, nurses, and other staff receive training on how to include families in daily rounds. The Society of Hospital Medicine is assisting I-PASS mentors with this effort. At each hospital, a team of I-PASS mentors is helping to put the program in place in a way that works with how the hospital delivers care. The project team is working with 21 hospitals that care for children across 16 states to set up the Patient and Family Centered I-PASS program. This project is expanding use of this program to large and small hospitals that care for children across the country to improve staff communication with families and reduce adverse events. Rounds are daily meetings to review patients’ progress and come up with a care plan for the day. The program trains doctors and nurses to communicate better and actively include patients and families during rounds. A PCORI-funded research study found that the Patient and Family Centered I-PASS program reduced the rate of adverse events among children in the hospital. An adverse event is when health care causes harm. Medical errors and adverse events in hospitals are common. 
Implementation Project Summary What was the goal of this implementation project? Improving doctor and nurse communication with families can help prevent errors and improve patient safety in the hospital. Thousands of patients are harmed each year due to medical errors and adverse events in hospitals. This PCORI-funded implementation project is expanding use of the Patient and Family Centered I-PASS program shown to improve communication among doctors, nurses, and families and reduce serious adverse events that can lead to patient injury or death.
These projects build toward broad use of evidence to inform healthcare decisions. PCORI implementation projects promote the use of findings from PCORI-funded studies in real-world healthcare and other settings.
