Inter-rater reliability in a bespoke scoring tool: the Paediatric Observation Priority Score

What is it about?

It is important that the score used to assess how sick a child might be on admission to hospital is accurate. This is to ensure the child receives the right care. However, there is a lack of research looking at the consistency of these scores. This study seeks to determine how good a scoring system used in a number of hospitals is amongst different staff members.
