Transform clinical skills development and competency tracking
Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Nursing
Transform how clinical skills are taught, measured, tracked, and communicated to move clinical learning beyond checklists.
New graduate nurses require extensive hospital-powered orientation to close the gap in practice readiness, creating an unsustainable burden on hospital resources.
We need to bridge the divide between the academic preparation new nurse graduates have received and the practice-ready skillset they need to thrive in a clinical setting – developing their confidence and self-efficacy and allowing for transparency and accountability along their journey.
Let’s reimagine how we teach and measure clinical skills to transform the transition to practice for new nurse graduates.
Clinical Learning Beyond Checklists
EPAs - entrustable professional activities – 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.
Keypath Connect pairs EPAs specifically designed for nursing with a robust, tech-enabled tracking solution, bringing transparency and accountability to the process of developing, tracking, and assessing clinical skills in new nurses in the pursuit of practice-readiness.
What makes an EPA different?
EPAs 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
