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,...
Communication Assessment Tool- Team (CAT-T)
The CAT-T is a patient satisfaction survey focused on the quality of communication received from a medical team during a visit to the emergency department. "Communication" refers to the interactions between members of the health care team and the patient (not interactions among health care team members). "Communication skills" was considered a single unitary construct undelying all of the items. The CAT-T represents a replication of a previously studied instrument, "...
Interprofessional Collaborator Assessment Rubric (ICAR)
The ICAR is a competency-based assessment rubric designed for health and social care students and providers. Specifically, the tool measures communication, collaboration, roles and responsibilities, a collaborative patient-family-centered approach to care, conflict management/resolution, and team functioning. Observers rate individuals on 31 IPCP competency statements. As a formative assessment, ICAR provides learners with constructive feedback on competency areas for further development. ...
Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS)
This tool was designed to capture healthcare students' self-reported attitudes and beliefs about interprofessional education and interprofessional collaborative practice. Items were based on an existing tool (the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning, or RIPLS), and the four domains of the 2011 IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice. Specifically, the 27-item tool measures individual students' agreement with statements regarding teamwork roles and...
TeamSTEPPS Team Assessment Questionnaire and Team Performance Observation Tool (TAQ-TPOT)
“Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety” (TeamSTEPPS™) is a systematic approach to training health care professionals. It was developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to improve the quality, safety, and the efficiency of health care. Although largely known as a curriculum, the Team STEPPS program has several assessment tools relevant for quality improvement. The TAQ self-report questionnaire and the TPOT...
Communication and Teamwork Skills (CATS) Assessment
The CATS was designed to measure communication and team skills of health care providers in an onsite (in situ) tool. Specifically, the tool measures situational awareness, coordination, communication, and cooperation. Observers rate 21 behaviors based on crisis resource management behavioral-based markers. A preliminary study observed healthcare workers in gastric bypass surgery, interdisciplinary rounds, and cesarean sections. The results are meant to provide rapid cycle feedback from 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...
Individual Teamwork Observation and Feedback Tool (iTOFT)
The iTOFT is a work-based assessment tool of interprofessional teamwork behaviors. It was created by a consortium of seven universities on three continents as a way to provide meaningful feedback to students and novice professionals. It was developed through a literature review of the existing teamwork assessment tools, a discussion of accreditation standards for the health professions, Delphi consultation, and field-testing with an emphasis on its feasibility and acceptability for formative...
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...
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...
