This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

I-PASS Patient Safety Institute, Inc.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
The I-PASS Institute is a training/consulting company, to help academic medical centers interested in implementing I-PASS to improve handoffs and the safety of patient care. The I-PASS program itself is freely available to medical centers, but typically academic medical centers require further support to successfully implement I-PASS. The I-PASS Institute was founded to help disseminate an improvement process developed through research led by Dr. Starmer and others at Boston Children's Hospital. It is restricted to training and implementation activities; it does not fund or participate in research. Dr. Starmer intends to provide consulting services to the Company. Dr. Starmer, as an Investigator in the study will be involved in all aspects of the research. The purpose of this Study is to partner with the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) and the Pediatric Research in Inpatient Settings (PRIS) network in order to facilitate the dissemination of the I-PASS Handoff Program to 16 pediatric and 16 adult teaching hospitals. As such, the outcome of the research may indirectly affect the Company.
Mentored Implementation of I-PASS for Better Handoffs and Safer Care
Communication failures are a leading cause of serious errors in hospitals. We have developed 'I-PASS,' a bundle of evidence-based handoff practices and tools that decrease miscommunications; in a nine-center study, we found that errors that harmed patients decreased 34% following implementation of I-PASS, and near misses decreased 26%. We propose to implement I-PASS in 32 adult and pediatric hospitals through the Society of Hospital Medicine's award-winning Mentored Implementation program.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
