Abstract
We found a high degree of internal reliability in the AHRQ instrument's items, suggesting the underlying construct of hospital preparedness is valid. Conversely, we found substantial variability in interrater reliability, suggesting that the instrument needs revision or substantial user training, as well as verification of interrater reliability in a particular setting before use.
