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. 

Our partners in the Tristar Division have shared with us education regarding a new test called the High Sensitivity Troponin. 

Studies performed at organizations that use the HSTnI report the following benefits:

• Earlier, safer rule out of CP without NSTEMI
• Faster turnaround time in ED
• Avoid missing small MIs
• Earlier detection of NSTEMI
• Reduction in stress tests
• No increase in cardiac catheterizations
• Potential cost savings

Thank you for your continued dedication to patient care!

Please ensure IV Stop Times are documented in the ED. A yellow information box alert will display in eMAR to ensure proper documentation of the IV stop time. This is a required field if there are IV medications on the patient's eMAR in the ED.
