Article Synopsis
- Patient and Family Centered I-PASS (PFC I-PASS) is a program that helps families and nurses work together better during hospital rounds to keep everyone informed and safe.
- A study looked at how well this program worked in different hospitals over three years by observing rounds and getting feedback from families, nurses, and doctors.
- The results showed big improvements in teamwork, communication, and safety, especially in larger hospitals and those with more nurse involvement, making the overall hospital experience better for patients and their families.
Objective: To determine whether medical errors, family experience, and communication processes improved after implementation of an intervention to standardize the structure of healthcare provider-family communication on family centered rounds.
Design: Prospective, multicenter before and after intervention study.
Setting: Pediatric inpatient units in seven North American hospitals, 17 December 2014 to 3 January 2017.
Importance: Medical errors and adverse events (AEs) are common among hospitalized children. While clinician reports are the foundation of operational hospital safety surveillance and a key component of multifaceted research surveillance, patient and family reports are not routinely gathered. We hypothesized that a novel family-reporting mechanism would improve incident detection.
