Tool

The Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS) was developed to evaluate the beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes that underlie interprofessional socialization and collaborative practice in health care settings.

This is a 24-item tool with a 7-point scale used to assess the extent of shift towards collaborative care in health care settings. The tool has 3 subscales: ability to work with others, value in working with others, and comfort in working with others.
