Strauss and Carpenter outcome criteria--revised.
Poor inter-rater reliability of the Strauss and Carpenter Outcome Criteria in hospital outcome study was attributed to lack of operational definition. A revision aimed at remedying this problem was used to rate a portion of the original sample of subjects. The revised form proved superior in interrater reliability for seven of the nine categories, suggesting that this more explicitly behavioral version may improve hospital outcome research.
