The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of concordance between experts and practitioners as to the importance of quality assessment measures (elements and indicators) in therapeutic recreation (TR) services. Results from a survey of TR practitioners as to actual uses of these quality assessment measures within Veterans Affairs Recreation Services nationwide were compared to expert opinions used in a previous study that identified quality assessment measures for TR. Agreement between expert ratings of importance and frequency of use by practitioners were greatest for the experts' most important elements and indicators and least for the least important. Findings suggest that a select few "important" elements and indicators might be universally required of all quality assessment programs; others might be optional or can be modified to meet the needs of individual settings. Results also demonstrate the need for further study of optimal quality assessment approaches using both expert knowledge and practitioner experience.
