Inter-rater reliability and validity of supervision performance assessment and recognition (SPARS) indicators to assess medicines management in public health facilities in Nepal
This study demonstrated that the SPARS indicators produce moderately accurate findings. Validity was significantly higher than IRR and both need improvement, especially for complex indicators. As such, future SPARS implementation should endeavour to include validity and IRR assessments to help improve the indicators.
