Background:
The Center for Technology in Support of Self-Management and Health (NUCare) is an exploratory research center funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research's P20 mechanism positioned to conduct rigorous research on the integration of technology in the self-management of the older adult population.
Purpose:
The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and application of an evaluation plan and preliminary evaluation results from the first year of implementation.
Methods:
This evaluation plan is derived from and is consistent with Dorsey et al.'s (2014) logic model. Dorsey's model provided guidelines for evaluating sustainability, leveraging of resources, and interdisciplinary collaboration within the center.
Discussion:
Preliminary results and strategies for addressing findings from the first year of evaluation are discussed. A secondary aim of this paper is to showcase the relevance of this center to the advancement and maintenance of health in the aging population.
