The University of Auckland Behavioural Rating Scale (UA-BRS)
This tool was designed to assess teamwork behaviors exhibited by critical care teams during simulated emergencies. Specifically, leadership and team coordination, mutual performance monitoring, and verbalising situational information are rated in 23 items. The tool can be completed by team members (group self-assessment) and/or by observers. The 2011 validation study was conducted on 160 individuals in 40 critical care teams engaged in 4 scenarios each. Results helped establish the factor...
Teamwork Assessment Scale (TAS)
The purpose of the TAS is two-fold: to train and to assess undergraduate medical students' ability to work in teams during ward rounds. Based on a theoretical model of teamwork, it measures team functioning using a 14-item observational tool applied in a simulation lab. In the validation studies, small teams of 3-4 medical students and chiefs of medicine participated in three different simulated scenarios that were designed to assess team coordination, cooperation, information exchange,...
Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM)
This observational rating tool was designed to assess the nontechnical performance of team members during resuscitation events. Specifically, it focuses on team leadership, teamwork, and task management as performed by acute care specialists (e.g., physicians, nurses). The tool includes ratings of 11 specific behaviors and also a global performance item. A thorough investigation of content, construct, and concurrent validity of the tool was conducted. In the latter investigations, analyses...
Team Observed Structured Clinical Encounter (TOSCE)
This tool was designed to assess the teamwork behaviors of interprofessional student teams as demonstrated in a clinical setting. Specifically, the tool measures communication, collaboration roles and responsibilities, collaborative patient-family-centered approach, conflict management/resolution, and team functioning. Two versions of the 7-item tool are provided to assess individual performance separately from team performance, and they may be used concurrently. In the validation study, the...
Multidisciplinary Team- Observational Assessment Rating Scale (MDT-OARS)
This observational assessment tool was designed for cancer multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings. Specifically, it contains items related to 15 criteria associated with the team, infrastructure for meetings, meeting organization and logistics, and clinical decision making. The content is based on recommendations from a large-scale survey about effectiveness in MDT in the UK. A pilot validation study conducted on 10 bowel cancer teams reported good inter-rater reliability (0.68 and above) for...
Modified Oxford NOTECHS Assessment (Oxford NOTECHS II)
This tool was designed to evaluate the non-technical skills of operating theatre teams as they perform surgery. Specifically, the Oxford NOTECHS II measures leadership and management, teamwork and cooperation, problem-solving and decision-making, and situational awareness. Two observers (one clinical, one human factors) rate the degree to which surgical teams maintain patient safety and effective teamwork behaviors in 14 items. The results are meant to be combined with a technical performance...
Team Development Measure (TDM)
This self-report tool was designed to assess the degree to which a team has achieved aspects of effective teamwork within inpatient and ambulatory health care settings. Specifically, the tool measures team members' perceptions of cohesion, communication, roles and goals, and team primacy in a 31-item instrument. In a validation study, 1,194 self-identified team members (e.g., physicians, nurses, receptionists, administrators, and ancillary therapists) from 120 healthcare teams provided...
Metric for the Observation of Decision-Making (MODe)
This tool was designed to assess collaborative processes taking place within multidisciplinary team (MDT) case conferences, as members discuss the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Team members include surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and clinical nurse specialists. Specifically, the MODe measures how thoroughly patient information is presented; how effectively the chair runs the meeting; and the extent to which the various specialists contribute productively to...
Intensive Care Unit Nurse-Physician Questionnaires (ICU-NPQ)
This collection of parallel instruments was designed to assess leadership, organizational culture, communication, coordination, problem solving / conflict management, and team cohesiveness among nurses and physicians working in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The instruments collect individual perceptions that may be aggregated to the ICU unit level; results may be used to diagnose organization and team issues for improvement. The measures were based on a theoretical model which posits that (a)...
Team Evaluation and Assessment Measure (TEAM)
This tool was designed to collect individuals' perceptions of multidisciplinary teamwork (MDT) performance in cancer care teams during meetings. Specifically, perceptions of the team, infrastructure for team meetings, meeting organization and administration, patient-centered clinical decision making, and clinical governance are measured in a 47-item self-report survey. The content is based on recommendations from a large-scale survey about effectiveness in MDT in the UK. A validation...
