Interprofessional Collaboration Scale (IPCS)

The IPCS is a self-report questionnaire measuring healthcare professionals' and students' attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding interprofessional collaboration and teamwork. Developed through research by Hind and colleagues in 2003 and refined in subsequent interprofessional education studies, the IPCS evaluates perceived teamwork quality, interdependence, communication effectiveness, and shared decision-making across professional boundaries. It is used in clinical and educational settings to assess collaboration climate, evaluate the impact of team interventions, and identify professional groups' differing perspectives on teamwork.
