Study Notes
Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs)
- EPAs are units of professional practice, tasks, or work that can be assigned to a learner without supervision, if the learner demonstrates the required competence.
- This concept allows for greater scope of practice for the learner, while maintaining patient safety.
- Key elements of EPA include:
- "Entrustable" - acts needing trust and performed without supervision.
- "Professional" - specific qualification-based occupations.
- "Activities" - tasks to be performed.
EPA vs Competency
- Traditionally, performance was assessed through individual competencies.
- An EPA shifts the focus to the tasks that must be done vs the competency of the individual.
- EPA uses a competency checklist and clinical assessment, instead of a trust-based assessment alone.
EPA Components/Descriptors
- EPA work descriptors are essential tasks performed in a professional practice, such as admitting, discharging, and educating patients.
- Person descriptors relate to competencies, skills, knowledge and attitudes from the professional, such as health system knowledge, communication, and scholarly skills.
Why EPAs?
- EPAs help bridge the gap between theory and clinical practice.
- They support the assessment of competencies within the workplace.
EPA examples (from the documents)
- Performing Comprehensive Health Assessment
- Performing Clinical Procedures (of a Registered Nurse)
- Conducting Patient/Caregiver Education
- Managing Care Transitions
- Recognizing, escalating and providing initial care, for patients requiring resuscitation, etc.
