Background:Incorporating emerging knowledge into Emergency Medical Service (EMS) competency assessments is critical to reflect current evidence-based out-of-hospital care. However, a standardized approach is needed to incorporate new evidence into EMS competency assessments because of the rapid pace of knowledge generation.Objective:The objective was to develop a framework to evaluate and integrate new source material into EMS competency assessments.Methods:The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (National Registry) and the Prehospital Guidelines Consortium (PGC) convened a panel of experts. A Delphi method, consisting of virtual meetings and electronic surveys, was used to develop a Table of Evidence matrix that defines sources of EMS evidence. In Round One, participants listed all potential sources of evidence available to inform EMS education. In Round Two, participants categorized these sources into: (a) levels of evidence quality; and (b) type of source material. In Round Three, the panel revised a proposed Table of Evidence. Finally, in Round Four, participants provided recommendations on how each source should be incorporated into competency assessments depending on type and quality. Descriptive statistics were calculated with qualitative analyses conducted by two independent reviewers and a third arbitrator.Results:In Round One, 24 sources of evidence were identified. In Round Two, these were classified into high- (n = 4), medium- (n = 15), and low-quality (n = 5) of evidence, followed by categorization by purpose into providing recommendations (n = 10), primary research (n = 7), and educational content (n = 7). In Round Three, the Table of Evidence was revised based on participant feedback. In Round Four, the panel developed a tiered system of evidence integration from immediate incorporation of high-quality sources to more stringent requirements for lower-quality sources.Conclusion:The Table of Evidence provides a framework for the rapid and standardized incorporation of new source material into EMS competency assessments. Future goals are to evaluate the application of the Table of Evidence framework in initial and continued competency assessments.
