Bringing I-PASS to the Bedside: A Communication Bundle to Improve Patient Safety and Experience
NCT02320175 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Patient and Family-Centered I-PASS is a bundle of communication interventions to improve the quality of information exchange between physicians, nurses, and families, and to better integrate families into all aspects of daily decision making in hospitals. This project tests the hypothesis that rates of medical errors and adverse events (primary outcome), hospital experience, communication, and shared understanding will improve following implementation of Patient and Family Centered I-PASS, as compared with current practice.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02320175
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02320175 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 6,478 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Boston Children's Hospital, which has 752 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Communication appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Patient and Family Centered I-PASS is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02320175 reports 7 study locations spanning 6 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Maryland, Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
