Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to standardize handoff communication in a hospital medicine team to enhance patient safety due to inconsistencies in handoffs.
- Quality improvement methods, including the implementation of the I-PASS tool, were adopted to streamline communication between providers, resulting in increased usage from 23% to 90% over the course of the project.
- Despite the significant increase in handoff tool usage, no major changes were observed in the duration of handoffs or the perceived communication errors after implementation.
