The I-PASS form is utilized to send reports to the Medical and Tele units prior to the ER moving the patient to the unit. The process includes completing the form and faxing it to the receiving unit when the bed is assigned "dirty". This allows the unit nurse a chance to review information and call with questions prior to the patient being taken to their inpatient bed. See the below sample.
