IPAS is a scale designed to assess attitudes that relate to the 2011 Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice. IPAS is one of the first scales to focus specifically on the Core Competencies. IPAS consists of 27 items in 5 sub-scales, which we have called "Teamwork, Roles, and Responsibilities", "Patient-Centeredness", "Interprofessional Biases", "Diversity & Ethics", and "Community-Centeredness". IPAS was created from factor analysis of survey data collected from over 700 student respondents at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center in 2012.

Hello Dr. Norris: I am very interested in learning more about your IPAS scale. I am currently working on an IPC/Population Health project partnering with a local hospital. I'd like to know if your scale has been used by others? I'd also like to know if you feel that this scale would work with a smaller setting which includes staff, faculty, and students involved in the project. I'd like to assess all of their attitudes related to the Core Competencies for IPC Practice. I appreciate any information regarding this great scale you and your team developed. Thanks: Tammy Testut, PhD, RN
