Sustaining a successful program over times is critical in today's rapidly changing health care environment. This study sought to identify the characteristics of organizations that implemented innovative health programs for older adults and sustained those programs over time. The Gerontological Health Section of the American Public Health Association created an award in 1998, endowed by the Archstone Foundation, to recognize innovative programs providing health and related social support services to older adults. The 20 award winners were interviewed in Fall 2002, using a structured questionnaire based on the conceptual model for sustainability articulated by Shediac-Rizkallah and Bone. The findings provided insights into the importance of leadership, financing, organizational structure, governance, marketing, and evaluation/research.
在当今快速变化的医疗环境中，长期维持一个成功的项目至关重要。本研究旨在确定那些为老年人实施创新健康项目并长期维持这些项目的组织的特征。美国公共卫生协会老年健康分会于1998年设立了一项由阿契斯通基金会资助的奖项，以表彰为老年人提供健康及相关社会支持服务的创新项目。2002年秋季，使用基于谢迪亚克-里兹卡拉和博恩阐述的可持续性概念模型的结构化问卷，对20位获奖者进行了访谈。研究结果揭示了领导力、融资、组织结构、治理、营销以及评估/研究的重要性。
