Collaborative practice (CP) is integral in meeting the Quadruple Aim of healthcare, with effective team-based practice linked to improving all four components. Evidence of the validity of tools measuring collaborative practice competencies is lacking in educational and practice settings. The Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide® (JTOG®), a real-time, 360-degree competency-based assessment tool administered via mobile app, provides formative feedback to learners in educational settings and helps practitioners develop and refine team-based behaviors in clinical settings. This study examines content validity evidence in terms of the linkage of JTOG items with the four Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies, along with two additional domains of leadership and patient-centeredness. Results provide content validity evidence to support use of the JTOG in interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) settings. The Teams and Teamwork competency was linked with every item, which is consistent with JTOG as a measure of teamwork. Aligning with the 2016 IPEC update, the JTOG items are all intercorrelated and together represent coverage across all competency areas. While items were typically linked to multiple competencies, each item only had one primary linkage. Analyses revealed that there is sufficient evidence of content validity relative to the intended IPCP competencies, and the JTOG tool is promising in its role to fill a gap in extant literature to measure collaborative practice behaviors.
协作实践（CP）是实现医疗保健四重目标的重要组成部分，有效的团队实践与改善所有四个组成部分相关。在教育和实践环境中，缺乏衡量协作实践能力的工具有效性的证据。杰斐逊团队观察指南®（JTOG®）是一种实时、360 度的基于能力的评估工具，通过移动应用程序进行管理，为教育环境中的学习者提供形成性反馈，并帮助从业者在临床环境中发展和完善基于团队的行为。本研究从杰斐逊团队观察指南（JTOG）项目与四个跨专业教育协作（IPEC）核心能力，以及领导力和以患者为中心的两个额外领域之间的联系方面，考察了内容有效性证据。结果为在跨专业协作实践（IPCP）环境中使用 JTOG 提供了内容有效性证据。团队和团队合作能力与每个项目都有联系，这与 JTOG 作为团队合作的衡量标准是一致的。与 2016 年 IPEC 更新一致，JTOG 项目相互关联，共同代表了所有能力领域的涵盖范围。虽然每个项目通常与多个能力相关联，但每个项目只有一个主要关联。分析表明，相对于预期的 IPCP 能力，内容有效性有足够的证据，并且 JTOG 工具在衡量协作实践行为方面具有填补现有文献空白的潜力。
