Barbara Brandt: IPEC Spring Institute Keynote Address
Barbara Brandt presented the keynote address at the IPEC Spring Institute, Interprofessional Education: Building a Framework for Collaboration on Wednesday, May 3, 2017.
Brandt's presentation, "Interprofessional Practice and Education: So where are we now?" provides a contextual view of the National Center's values and role as an "unbiased, neutral convener" and the environmental and practical lessons learned that situate the National Center's critical success factors for IPE.

Modified McMaster-Ottawa 4-item Scale
This 4-item, 3-point scale is modified from the original 7-item scale and is adapted for ease of applicability to clinical settings. It is intended for the assesment of individuals within an interprofessional team in a patient encounter, to provide performance feedback. The scale was validated in the standardized setting of a Team Objective Structured Clinical Encounter (Generalizability coefficient .73). It can be applied to any health profession. The behaviors/skills observed are Collaboration, Roles, Patient/Family-Centeredness and Conflict Management.
When Less is More: Validating a Brief Scale to Rate Interprofessional Team Competencies
There is a need for validated and easy-to-apply behavior-based tools for assessing interprofessional team competencies in clinical settings. The 7-item observer-based Modified McMaster-Ottawa scale was developed for the Team Objective Structured Clinical Encounter (TOSCE) to assess individual and team performance in interprofessional patient encounters. We aimed to improve scale usability for clinical settings by reducing item number while maintaining generalizability; and to explore the minimum number of observed cases required to achieve modest generalizability for giving feedback.
