TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Concepts of Measurement Reliability A1 - Portney, Leslie G. PY - 2020 T2 - Foundations of Clinical Research: Applications to Evidence-Based Practice, 4e AB - The usefulness of measurement in clinical decision-making depends on the extent to which clinicians can rely on data as accurate and meaningful indicators of a behavior or attribute. The first prerequisite, at the heart of accurate measurement, is reliability, or the extent to which a measured value can be obtained consistently during repeated assessment of unchanging behavior. Without sufficient reliability, we cannot have confidence in the data we collect nor can we draw rational conclusions about stable or changing performance. SN - PB - F. A.
