Is there a difference between the I-PASS that we have in our EHR and what is proposed here?

Yes, the I-PASS mnemonic may be built into your EHR already, but the mnemonic alone is not enough. I-PASS is a package of interventions, of which the written mnemonic is only one component. To drive significant changes in patient safety, I-PASS needs to be systematically adopted and used daily by your health care professionals in their written and oral communications. The I-PASS Institute works with your organization to create a customized program to ensure adoption and long-term sustainment of I-PASS.
