In November, the Kentucky Hospital Association announced a partnership with I-PASS. Baptist Health’s deployment of the system will serve as an initial demonstration of the system, according to a Dec. 19 Baptist Health news release. Through the program, Baptist Health will adopt the I-PASS suite of digital health tools, which includes a handoff tool integrated within the EHR designed to reduce workflow redundancies.

“This important initiative will give our staff a tool they’ve been yearning for — one that augments the way they’re already coordinating patient care,” Trish Jordan, Baptist Health’s system associate vice president of clinical outcomes, said in the news release. By leveraging a shared mental model for clinical handoff communication, our care teams can maximize the impact that those efforts ultimately make on their patients.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
