The creation of standard-setting videos to support faculty observations of learner performance and entrustment decisions.
The authors report their experience developing videos that represent five levels of performance for an entrustable professional activities (EPA) for patient handoffs. They describe a process that begins with mapping the EPA to the critical competencies needed to make an entrustment decision. Each competency is then defined by five milestones (behavioral descriptors of performance at five advancing levels).

Using standardized videos to validate a measure of handoff quality: the handoff mini-clinical examination exercise.
The researchers report the results of the development of a shorter Handoff Mini-Clinical Examination Exercise (CEX), along with the formal establishment of its construct validity, namely its ability to distinguish between levels of performance in 3 domains of handoff quality. They were able to demonstrate evidence that the Handoff Mini-CEX can draw reliable and valid conclusions regarding handoff performance by physicians in U.S. hospitals.
