Format(s): Assessment/Evaluation Tool
The individual Teamwork Observation and Feedback Tool (iTOFT) was developed by a partnership of universities in response to the need for a structured means to observe and give feedback to student learners as they took part in an interprofessional teamwork task. Both basic and advanced versions of this tool have been developed and they are both formative assessments. The basic version is intended to assess students in low complexity activities who have little clinical teamwork experience. It includes observable behaviors within the domains of shared decision making and working in a team. The advanced version is for assessing senior students as well as junior health professionals. It includes observable behaviors in the more advanced domains of leaderships and patient safety in addition to the domains of shared decision making and working in a team.
Accompanying the assessment tools are the full project report and resource package. The project report provides an in-depth account of the development process for iTOFT. The resource package outlines best practices for the use of iTOFT by learners, educators, and clinical teachers.
