Evaluation of Novel Training and Data Summary Tool During Simulated En Route Care Patient Handoffs
End users reported greater documentation system usability and handoff satisfaction with a bundle of structured IPASS training and a data summary prototype compared to usual practice. Intervention bundle handoffs verbally transferred a higher proportion of critical items. The introduction of electronic medical records into operational medicine offers an opportunity to improve handoff safety. Future research should evaluate bundles of IPASS training and automatically generated data summary prototypes in operational settings.
