Abstract
Analyses of frail elderly populations and their service needs are increasingly important in shaping future policies for long term care (LTC) financing and service delivery. Because assessment information on elderly LTC clients generates essential data bases on programs and the population, it is important that the data be reliable. This article describes a method for obtaining reliable assessment data in multisite programs involving many clinical assessors. Regular reliability checks showed marked improvement over time and generally high levels of interrater reliability.
