In 2018, the Houston-based cancer center conducted a human factors analysis of safety events, which discovered the handoff communication issue. MD Anderson had piloted the I-PASS handoff tool in its gynecologic, oncology and pediatrics departments in 2014, which reduced communication errors by 50%.
