About integRATE
integRATE comprises four questions that can be completed by patients receiving multiple episodes of care for a health issue (or their representatives). integRATE assesses concepts including communication between members of the health care team, information sharing and transfer, and teamwork. integRATE is designed for use both in research and in routine health care delivery. An experimental validation study is currently underway to assess the psychometric properties of integRATE and determine the optimal method of scoring integRATE items.
