Key result
The Care Transitions Measure demonstrated acceptable inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.77; p = 0.03) and high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.94) among older musculoskeletal patients.
Why the study?
Does the Care Transitions Measure (CTM) adequately assess the quality of care transitions in older musculoskeletal rehabilitation patients?
Observational (n=15)
Yes
Does the Care Transitions Measure (CTM) adequately assess the quality of care transitions in older musculoskeletal rehabilitation patients?
Effect estimate: ICC 0.77
p-value: p=0.03
The Care Transitions Measure is a reliable tool for assessing care transitions in older musculoskeletal rehabilitation patients, though minor modifications could improve its construct validity.

CTM reliable overall in small MSK cohort but needs item revisions; leaves open optimized use pending validation.
McLeod et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders (n=15). Care Transitions Measure (CTM) was evaluated on Inter-rater reliability (overall score) (ICC 0.77, p=0.03). The Care Transitions Measure demonstrated acceptable inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.77; p = 0.03) and high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.94) among older musculoskeletal patients.
