PY - 2011 DA - 2011/11/16 TI - A framework and a measurement instrument for sustainability of work practices in long-term care JO - BMC Health Services Research SP - 314 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - In health care, many organizations are working on quality improvement and/or innovation of their care practices. Although the effectiveness of improvement processes has been studied extensively, little attention has been given to sustainability of the changed work practices after implementation. The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical framework and measurement instrument for sustainability. To this end sustainability is conceptualized with two dimensions: routinization and institutionalization.
