Abstract:
The purpose of the independent monitoring for quality (IM4Q) program is to bridge communication between individuals with mental retardation and the service providers on whom they rely. The IM4Q program uses an interview (essential data elements survey) to gather information about the lives of individuals with mental retardation. Collaboration between individuals with mental retardation, family members, and community members provides diverse interviewing teams. This study evaluates inter-rater reliability of the essential data elements (EDE) survey. Findings show that 73 of the 74 questions had monitor agreement scores of 85% or higher Inter-rater reliability of the Pennsylvania independent monitoring for quality program's essential data elements scale.
