ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when a patient’s care is transferred from one clinician to another? In this episode, UC Davis medical students Ian Marquez, Nicholas Le, and Marco Oliveras explore I-PASS, a structured approach to safer, clearer clinical handoffs. They speak with Daniel West who explains how I-PASS helps healthcare teams build a shared mental model and communicate reliably under pressure. Their conversation examines communication failures, culture change, and the future of safer, more reliable healthcare. Discover how better clinical handoffs are a critical patient safety intervention.
