IPDASi Scoring System

An instrument to assess the quality of decision support technologies

Welcome to the IPDASi Scoring System The International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) Collaboration is a group of researchers, practitioners and stakeholders from around the world. The IPDAS Collaboration is led by Professors Annette O'Connor in Canada and Glyn Elwyn in the United Kingdom. We are currently undertaking a validation study - assessing 30 decision support technologies.

The development of the tool is supported by the IPDAS Steering Group, developed by the Measurement Methods Group and is hosted by Cardiff University, on behalf of the Collaboration.

Until we finalise the instrument, we are willing to assist colleagues who wish to use IPDASi on a research basis - please email Glyn Elwyn - [email protected] - for further details.
