Validation of a composite outcome measure for inpatient psychiatry using scales from the interRAI-MH by Howard E. Barbaree, Christopher Perlman, Elke Ham, Gregory P. Brown, John P. Hirdes

“…We used ROC analysis to evaluate the CIIMHS’s ability to predict discharge from the hospital. To evaluate construct validity, we examined the measure’s responsiveness to changes among patients after treatment in the hospital.ResultsWe found strong evidence for all four kinds of validity.ConclusionsThe composite measure represents a valid measure of inpatient mental health status and will serve as a valuable measure of the quality of care for inpatient psychiatry.…”
