AB  - OBJECTIVE: Collaborative care between physicians and pharmacists has the 
      potential to improve the process of care and patient outcomes. Our objective was 
      to determine whether team-based pharmacist care was associated with higher 
      physician-rated collaborative working relationship scores than usual ward-based 
      pharmacist care at the end of the COLLABORATE study, a 1 year, multicentre, 
      controlled clinical trial, which associated pharmacist intervention with improved 
      medication use and reduced hospital readmission rates. METHODS: We conducted a 
      cross-sectional survey of all team-based and usual care physicians (attending 
      physicians and medical residents) who worked on the participating clinical 
      teaching unit or primary healthcare teams during the study period. They were 
      invited to complete an online version of the validated Physician-Pharmacist 
      Collaboration Index (PPCI) survey at the end of the study. The main endpoint of 
      interest was the mean total PPCI score. KEY FINDINGS: Only three (response rate 
      2%) of the usual care physicians responded and this prevented us from conducting 
      pre-specified comparisons. A total of 23 team-based physicians completed the 
      survey (36%) and reported a mean total PPCI score of 81.6 +/- 8.6 out of a total of 
      92. Mean domain scores were highest for relationship initiation (14.0 +/- 1.4 out 
      of 15), and trustworthiness (38.9 +/- 3.7 out of 42), followed by role 
      specification (28.7 +/- 4.3 out of 35). CONCLUSION: Pharmacists who are pursuing 
      collaborative practice in inpatient settings may find the PPCI to be a meaningful 
      tool to gauge the extent of collaborative working relationships with physician 
      team members.
