NASSS - A new framework to understand scale up, spread and sustainability of new technologies

Beyond Adoption: A New Framework for Theorizing and Evaluating Nonadoption, Abandonment, and Challenges to the Scale-Up, Spread, and Sustainability of Health and Care Technologies
J Med Internet Res. 2017 Nov; 19(11): e367. Doi: 10.2196/jmir.8775

• The nonadoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, and sustainability (NASSS) diagram and framework is an evidence-based, theory-informed, but also accessible and usable framework. The aim is to enable those seeking to design, develop, implement, scale up, spread, and sustain technology-supported health or social care programs to identify and help address the key challenges in different domains and the interactions between them.
• Tested and developed using 6 technology-supported programs for up to 3 years -video outpatient consultations, global positioning system tracking for cognitive impairment, pendant alarm services, remote biomarker monitoring for heart failure, care organizing software, and integrated case management via data sharing.
