Which of the following demonstrates interrater reliability and construct validity for an instrument designed to capture data for a publicly reported measure set?

Option

Interrater Reliability

Construct Validity

A

Two or more abstractors enter identical responses when reviewing the same record.

The tool measures the quality of care which the measure developers intended to measure.

B

Trained data collectors can reliably predict results after reviewing a random sample of records.

The tool includes data elements that measure the aspects of quality which are important to the public.

C

Concordance between process and outcome measures can be accurately estimated by the measure developers.

The instrument enables statistically valid inferences to be drawn about the quality of care delivered.

D

The design of the instrument minimizes falsified answers and other data entry errors.

The instrument captures variations in care processes across the population.
