The Team Decision Making Questionnaire (TDMQ) was developed to assess the quality of interprofessional teams and to evaluate clinical staff's perceptions of decisions making.

The Team Decision Making Questionnaire is a 19-item tool with a 7-point scale that is used to assess the quality of interprofessional teams. The tool has 4 subscales: decision‐making, team support, learning, and developing quality services.
