Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Nursing
What makes an EPA different?

EPAs - entrustable professional activities – offer an innovative approach to competency development beyond the acquisition of individual skills. An EPA encompasses the competencies and sub-competencies the learner must achieve to be entrusted to perform the work safely without supervision within a comprehensive context that promotes deep understanding. 

Keypath Connect’s Nursing EPAs reimagine clinical skills development to:

  • Bridge the education-practice gap
  • Streamline new nurse onboarding
  • Promote self-efficacy and embeddedness amongst new graduate nurses
Clinical Learning Beyond Checklists

EPAs promote a deeper level of understanding and evaluation of the activities that make up each layer of skill acquisition. Tracking these activities as units of work enables the learner to absorb knowledge, skill, and attitude in a way that mirrors real-world practice. 

Paired with a robust, tech-enabled tracking solution, Keypath Connect’s Nursing EPAs bring transparency and accountability to the process of developing, tracking, and assessing clinical skills in new nurses in the pursuit of practice-readiness.  

A graphic represents the journey to entrustment: EPAs allow the educator/preceptor and the learner to know exactly where they are in their journey toward professional entrustment.  This progression includes various levels of supervision.
