Tools from the Medical Outcomes Trust (MOT)
Measuring the impact of IPECP on patient health and well-being is a primary goal of many IPECP efforts. The Medical Outcomes Trust (MOT) is a non-profit organization that has collected a number of highly respected instruments that may be of use for IPECP evaluation studies. All of the instruments in the MOT library have significant evidence of validity and have been widely adapted for many years. They are generally licensed for a fee, which may include data collection, analysis, and...
Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS-21)
The ISVS-21 represents a refinement of a previous tool (ISVS-24, King et al., 2010); both are self-report instruments designed to measure interprofessional socialization among students and health practitioners and their readiness to function in interprofessional teams. Items were developed to capture respondent beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors at baseline and at post-intervention time periods. The original ISVS has been used in multiple studies. The purpose of the study reported here was to...
Students Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education Revised (SPICE-R)
The SPICE-R is a short (10-item) self-report survey designed to measure health professions students' perceptions of interprofessional education and interprofessional collaborative practice. It represents a variation of an earlier instrument (SPICE-1), which was developed specifically for medical and pharmacy students. Items reflect a 3-factor model capturing interprofessional teamwork and team-based practice; roles and responsibilities for collaborative practice; and patient outcomes from...
Performance Assessment Communication and Teamwork Tools Set (PACT)
The PACT Tool set was designed by faculty and staff at the University of Washington (Center for Health Sciences, Interprofessional Education, Research, and Practice), as part of a Macy and Hearst Foundations grant to develop a simulation-based team training program for pre-licensure health professions students. To develop the program, the authors chose the "Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety" (TeamSTEPPS®) model as a guiding framework. The PACT...

It is a generic measure, as opposed to one that targets a specific age, disease, or treatment group. It can be administered in a...
Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMISE)
PROMIS® is a set of patient-centered tools that can be used to evaluate the physical, mental, and social health of adults and children. The tools can be used with the general population and individuals with chronic conditions. PROMIS instruments measure concepts such as pain, fatigue, physical function, depression, anxiety and social function. PROMIS has constructed item banks (a collection of questions measuring the same thing that can be administered in short forms or adaptively through...
Student Perceptions of Physician-Pharmacist Interprofessional Clinical Education (SPICE-2)
The SPICE instrument was designed to measure medical and pharmacy students’ perceptions of interprofessional education experiences in experiential education settings. Specifically, the tool measures interprofessional teamwork and team-based practice, roles/responsibilities for collaborative practice, and patient outcomes from collaborative practice in a 10-item self-report questionnaire. The results of the tool are meant to promote a consistent IPE experience across multiple institutions...
Relational Coordination Scale (RCS)
The RCS is a 7-item instrument completed by interdependent work groups with a critical role in carrrying out a work process. It diagnoses four dimensions of communication and three dimensions of relationship quality. In the 2000 study by Gittell, et al., reported below, the work process of interest was surgical care of orthopedic patients, and the workgroups with a critical role in providing care and services to those patients were members of five core disciplines: physicians, nurses,...
Index of Interdisciplinary Collaboration (IIC)
The IIC is designed to assess social workers’ perception of the quality of collaborative exchanges in interdisciplinary team settings. The tool breaks down interdisciplinary collaboration into five sub-dimensions: interdependence, newly created professional activities, collective ownership of goals, reflection on process, and flexibility. The 42-item self-report questionnaire is meant to assess whether individuals are experiencing the positive interprofessional interactions measured in the tool...
