Developing partnerships among health care clinics and community organizations is an important strategy for increasing resources and supports for chronic disease care and management. Although several tools assessing partnership characteristics exist, tools to assess the progression from partnership development to the achievement of specific short-term, intermediate, and long-term outcomes have not been developed to date. The purpose of this article is to introduce tools developed by the Diabetes Initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to fill that gap.
The Diabetes Initiative used a group process with program grantees to better delineate the phases of partnership development that contribute to the achievement of a shared long-term goal. The Framework for Building Clinic-Community Partnerships to Support Chronic Disease Control and Prevention presented in this article was developed as a result of this process. To apply the framework, 3 checklists were created to correspond to each stage of the framework. The final tools include the framework; 3 checklists with items to assess partnership development, agency capacity within and between agencies, and intermediate and long-term outcomes; and a form to facilitate changes to improve the partnership. Overall, these tools seek to aid partnerships in achieving the best possible chronic disease outcomes.
在医疗机构和社区组织之间建立伙伴关系是增加慢性病护理和管理资源和支持的重要策略。尽管有几种评估伙伴关系特征的工具，但迄今为止尚未开发出用于评估从伙伴关系发展到实现特定短期、中期和长期成果进展的工具。本文的目的是介绍罗伯特伍德约翰逊基金会糖尿病倡议开发的工具，以填补这一空白。
糖尿病倡议利用与项目受赠方的小组流程，更好地划定有助于实现共同长期目标的伙伴关系发展阶段。本文介绍的“支持慢性病控制和预防的诊所-社区伙伴关系构建框架”是这一过程的结果。为了应用该框架，创建了 3 个清单，以对应框架的每个阶段。最终的工具包括框架、3 个清单，其中包含评估伙伴关系发展、机构内部和机构之间的机构能力以及中期和长期成果的项目，以及一个促进改善伙伴关系的变更的表格。总的来说，这些工具旨在帮助伙伴关系实现最佳的慢性病结果。
