Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams Scale (ATHCT)
The ATHCT was designed to gauge the attitudes of trainees and providers towards working in interprofessional healthcare teams. Specifically, the tool measures individuals' beliefs about the quality of care provided by interprofessional teams (i.e., Quality of Care/Process) and their attitudes regarding the physician's central authority role in healthcare teams (i.e., Physician Centrality). These two factors are measured in a 19-item self-report tool. The development of this version...
Collaboration and Satisfaction About Care Decisions (CSACD)
The CSACD was originally designed to measure nurse-physician collaboration in intensive care units (ICUs) as they make specific decisions regarding patient transfers. The tool contains a six-item measure of collaboration as well as a global collaboration item, a decision process satisfaction item, and a final decision satisfaction item. The results, which are at the level of a specific patient decision, are meant to support linking nurse-physician collaboration to ICU patient outcomes. The 1994...
Assessment for Collaborative Environments (ACE-15)
The ACE-15 was designed to help faculty and administrators conduct a rapid assessment of the quality of interprofessional teamwork in clinical sites. Results can be used as a guide for placing learners (students, residents) in positive teaching environments in which interprofessional collaboration is being modeled. This 15-item, self-report survey is appropriate for a broad array of health professionals working in a variety of clinical sites. A validity study including 192 healthcare...
IPEC Competency Self-Assessment Tool
This instrument was designed to assess competencies related to collaborative practice at the healthcare degree program level through individual student self-assessment. Specifically, the tool measures students' self-efficacy on items based on the 42 core competency statements developed by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC, 2011), a consortium of professional associations in the U.S. representing six disciplines. Results can help inform curriculum planning, track the...
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 Decision Making Questionnaire (TDMQ)
The TDMQ was designed to measure the quality of transdisciplinary teamwork throughout the team decision-making process. Specifically, the tool provides an estimate of the quality of decision-making, team support, learning, and the development of quality services within a team. In the validation study, the 19-item, self-report instrument was administered to professionals working within the clinical area of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). The study reported good factor...
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...

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...
