1.  PROPOSAL SUMMARY/ABSTRACT

We are developing a unique structured communication framework for handoffs between ICU to ward (i.e. IPASS-ICU framework) and seek to measure its impact on readmissions to the ICU, incident reports, preventable medical errors, continuity of care, and physician and nurse satisfaction with handoffs.
