Info

Are the Data OK? • Entry software supports completeness, valid responses • CIHI checks at submission • Analyses suggest there is good internal consistency, convergent validity • When used for research, accept some level of imprecision • Bias threatens validity, but unlikely in MDS data • No measurement is perfect, especially in healthcare!
Instrumentation Issues: falls • MDS 2.0 has 2 fall items: • Reassessment occurs quarterly: ~ 90 days • For data analysis, how to best determine when a fall may have occurred? • Additional issue of determining if the fall occurred in the facility or prior to entry
