Main Result

Effect estimate: Spearman correlations 0.388-0.594

The Care Transition Measure (CTM) was developed and validated as a patient-centered tool to assess the quality of care transitions for older adults.

Cite This Study

Coleman et al. (2002) studied Care transitions (n=109). Care Transition Measure (CTM) was evaluated on Construct validity (Spearman correlations 0.388-0.594). The Care Transition Measure (CTM) was developed and demonstrated content and construct validity (inter-item Spearman correlations 0.388-0.594) with no significant floor or ceiling effects.
