PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to report data on the lack of a proper patient handoff system in dentistry and dental education and to present a possible solution to integrate this into curriculum using the "entrustable professional activities" (EPAs) framework.
Delphi participants from seven US dental schools provided feedback on a preliminary definition of handoff, a mnemonic and an assessment rubric. 2019 American Dental Education Association Commission on Change and Innovation in Dental Education (ADEA CCI) participants further evaluated the handoff EPA using the EQual rubric for EPA quality and structure.
Delphi participants identified points of transition in dentistry, selected the D-PASS as a mnemonic, and agreed with the evaluation rubric. The ADEA CCI participants agreed the handoff EPA describes work that is essential for the profession and suitable for entrustment.
The D-PASS rubric is an effective way to assess patient handoffs.
目的/目标:本研究旨在报告牙科和牙科教育中缺乏适当的患者交接系统的数据,并提出一个可能的解决方案,通过“可委托的专业活动”(EPAs)框架将其纳入课程。
来自美国七所牙科学校的德尔菲参与者就交接的初步定义、助记符和评估评分表提供了反馈。2019 年美国牙科学教育协会变革与创新委员会(ADEA CCI)的参与者进一步使用 EQual 评分表评估了交接 EPA 的质量和结构。
德尔菲参与者确定了牙科中的过渡点,选择了 D-PASS 作为助记符,并同意评估评分表。ADEA CCI 的参与者认为交接 EPA 描述了对专业至关重要且适合委托的工作。
D-PASS 评分表是评估患者交接的有效方法。
