In 2021, the PIRE sustainability team in partnership with the Wandersman Center completed a sustainability readiness strategy (SRS) for organizations interested in sustainment of healthcare evidence-based interventions (EBIs) after initial funding has ended. EBIs can include coalitions, which have been found to be evidence-based in multiple healthcare studies. The SRS is an evidence-informed strategy that includes three evidence-based components: (1) a logic model with documented evidence of the connection between readiness and sustainability, (2) an adapted Getting to Outcomes® (GTO) process model, and (3) online coaching considered necessary to support SRS implementation. Four support system resources are a detailed Toolkit, interactive Excel™ Tools, a Coaching Guide, and an Evaluation Guide. A landing page that can be accessed through the following link presents an overview of the SRS and the support system resources:
