Research Model Sustainability
Sustainability of the model relates to key considerations including facilitation of communication between all key stakeholders, dissemination of progress and outputs, and generating key result indicators and performance indicators that reflect the context of key stakeholders. The research mentor/professor will likely be in a position where they are managing a partnership collaboration (as was the case for the trial of the model described here) between the hospital and potentially a university. Although collaborations are complex and can be delicate, they are important in answering key clinical and practice questions. Partnerships work better when effective strategies are in place to manage conflicts that can arise, and these can be managed through the use of collaborative agreements usually signed by all the institutions working together. These agreements identify the needs of the partnerships, state the purpose of the partnership, areas of interest, and agree intellectual property rights for each party in the collaboration (Ousey & Edward, 2013). For example, in this trial of the model, collaborative agreements were undertaken with individual staff members and related to projects they were engaged in with the research mentor. Benefits of undertaking collaborative agreements with individual staff relate specifically to role clarity and areas of responsibility for staff. Sustainability in this context is a result of staff engagement and clarity of purpose in research. From a wider organizational perspective, the hospital executive members have access to written confirmation of staff engagement in research providing an objective account of activities and outcomes for auditability. Sustainability in this context is a result of logical tracking of resources and an enhanced ability to account for investment in research.
