Program revision: a dynamic outcome of evaluation.
This critical review of program revision processes is guided by the program management model and considers issues germane to community-oriented health care programs, illustrated by examples from the literature. Options for program revision lie on a continuum from discontinuing a program, to various degrees of adjustments, to no change. Sustainability is the ultimate issue that must be addressed, and community and staff participation is critical for successful program revision.
