Healthcare Innovation highlighted a recent study published by the *Journal of Hospital Medicine* that examined how the I-PASS handoff improvement program dramatically reduces medical errors stemming from handoff miscommunications. I-PASS co-founder Dr. Amy Starmer said, “Annually, thousands of patients are impacted by adverse events related to communication failures that may have been avoided with proper handoffs. By implementing a standardized process like I-PASS, clinicians can share consistent and highly reliable clinical information using an efficient structure that ensures providers have accurate and critical patient information.”
