	*'''A'''ction list		==== Patient summary ====
	*'''S'''ituation awareness and contingency planning		Briefly describe patient presentation, key findings, diagnostics, working diagnosis, current treatment (e.g., “72-year-old with chest pain; EKG non-ischemic, troponin pending; likely unstable angina vs NSTEMI — given ASA.”)
	*'''S'''ynthesis by receiver		==== Action list ====
			Provide next tasks to be done with responsible parties & timing (e.g., “Follow up second troponin at 21:30, reassess pain, arrange cardiology consult if elevated, prepare for admission if positive.”)
			==== Situation awareness and contingency planning ====
			Identify potential changes and what to do if they occur (e.g., “If pain recurs or EKG changes, page CT surgery urgently; if troponin negative but persistent symptoms, consider CT PE depending on risk factors.”)
			==== Synthesis by receiver ====
			Receiver reads back plan and clarifies ambiguities (e.g., “Stable chest pain, pending troponin at 21:30; if positive, admit to cardiology; if negative and asymptomatic, consider discharge with outpatient follow-up—will reassess after labs.”)

Created page with "==Overview== In Emergency Medicine, we sign out very frequently relative to other fields. ==Indications== ==Contraindications== ==Equipment Needed== ==Procedure== The I-..."

New page

==Overview==
In Emergency Medicine, we sign out very frequently relative to other fields.

==Indications==

==Contraindications==

==Procedure==
The I-PASS mnemonic provides a framework for the patient handoff process as follows:

I: Illness severity

P: Patient summary

A: Action list

S: Situation awareness and contingency planning
