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.
