The review's mapping of assessed behaviors onto IPEC domains across 58 articles; it further reports "values and ethics for interprofessional collaboration were only assessed in 4 (6.9%)."

"In mapping the assessed collaborative behaviors to IPEC domains, we found that 19 (32.8%) articles reported assessment of 1 competency; 15 (25.9%) assessed 2 competencies; 21 (36.2%) assessed 3 competencies; and 3 (5.2%) articles assessed all 4 competencies."

The review reports that teamwork and communication dominated assessment, consistent with CRM reliance, while interprofessional-specific communication was rarely targeted.

"All but one article described assessment tools that focused on teamwork, and 39 (67.2%) assessed communication, consistent with reliance on CRM and related frameworks by the majority of programs."
