Construct Details

ConstructMaintenance and sustainability
DefinitionMaintenance: The extent to which a program or policy becomes institutionalized or part of the routine organizational practices and policies. Maintenance in the RE-AIM framework also has referents at the individual level. At the individual level, maintenance has been defined as the long-term effects of a program on outcomes after 6 or more months after the most recent intervention contact.
Sustainability: "Extent to which a newly implemented treatment is maintained or institutionalized within a service setting’s ongoing, stable operations." A part of late implementation stages, sustainability of a treatment/innovation can be observed within aspects of organizational culture through "policies and practices." Often there is high sustainability when penetration is strong.

Sustainability is also defined as the existence of structures and processes which allow a program to leverage resources to most effectively implement evidence-based policies and activities over time.
