Interprofessional collaboration in health care is a fundamental requirement to ensure efficient care for patients, but also to properly manage human and economic resources. Multiple researches have been conducted internationally, which have employed different measurement scales to detect collaboration between different professionals, also employed in different healthcare settings. At the national level, however, empirical studies on the topic have not yet exhausted the analysis of collaboration among the various professionals employed in the critical care area, and this is probably due to the limited number of measurement tools available in Italian. Available Italian-language validated measurement scales include the IPC scale, which allows the simultaneous detection of interprofessional collaboration among multiple healthcare professionals.
