What Are The Outcomes? A competent (at a minimum) practitioner aligned with: CMS Triple Aim
The Assessment “System” Unit of Analysis: Program Residents FB • Assessments within Program: • Direct observations • Audit and performance data • Multi-source FB • Simulation • ITExam J U D G E M E N T Accreditation Qual/Quant “Data” Synthesis: Committee P U B L I C D FB D D Certification and Credentialing FB Faculty, PDs and others Unit of Analysis: Individual Milestones and EPAs as Guiding Framework and Blueprint
Milestones • By definition a milestone is a significant point in development. • Milestones should enable residents, fellows and the training program to better determine an individual’s trajectory of competency acquisition.
Developmental Progression or Set of Milestones Competency Sub-competency Specific Milestone
Entrustable Professional Activities • EPAs represent the routine professional-life activities of physicians based on their specialty and subspecialty • The concept of “entrustable” means: • ‘‘a practitioner has demonstrated the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to be trusted to perform this activity [unsupervised].’’1 1Ten Cate O, Scheele F.

Effective Assessment System Processes • Most important component of curriculum is the clinical care clnicians provide and experience • Clarity on right outcomes linked to curriculum • Integration of the educational and clinical systems • Right combination and synthesis of assessment methods • Critical importance of shared understanding & mental models of competence • Competencies, milestones, entrustable professional activities (EPAs)
Improvements We Can Implement Now • Observe, observe, observe • There is currently no substitute for ongoing observation and feedback from an expert clinician. • Stop seeking the grail of assessment forms. • Assessment forms are only as good as the individual using them. • Align assessment forms with purpose & construct. • Invest in assessor development. • Refine use of work-based assessment methods. • Treat local assessment practices as a continuous quality improvement activity.
Next Steps for Assessment • Need to advance development of work-based assessment (WBA) methods • Interprofessional team care • Effective use of clinical decision support • Quality, systems-based practice, safety • Sophisticated communication skills • Embed WBA into routine clinical work • EMRs will need to evolve • Robust and longitudinal feedback loops
