Evaluating Reliability: A Cost-Effectiveness Approach.
Hogan, Andrew
Evaluation and the Health Professions, v9 n3 p361-75 Sep 1986
This study derives the economic costs of misclassification in nursing home patient classification systems. These costs are then used as weights to estimate the reliability of a functional assessment instrument. Results suggest that reliability must be redefined and remeasured with each substantively new application of an assessment instrument. (Author/LMO)
