“…In addition to shedding light on the pathway from intervention to outcomes, process evaluations have several other uses. For example, Iutcovich and Pratt (2003) conducted a process evaluation of the development of inter-agency partnerships within ten geriatric health centers.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyze the nation's first hospital to housing for homeless individuals. The Chicago Housing for Health Partnership (CHHP), a Housing First and Harm Reduction model, creates a new comprehensive system of health care, housing and supportive services. Design/methodology/approach -The researchers conducted a year long process evaluation of the housing program using a multi-method approach, which involved qualitative interviews, focus groups, document analysis and observations. The paper examined the CHHP system at three different levels (the administrative, service provision and the client levels). Findings -The study allowed the organizational participants the ability to better understand their program by visually modeling the system for the first time and documenting its effectiveness. It also furthered the understanding of how and why the housing first model is best accompanied by a harm reduction approach. Finally, the paper was able to show how and why organizational system design is important in creating the most effective environment in which programs have a real impact. Originality/value -The authors were able to help CHHP program leaders conduct strategic planning and to present their program as an effective model future funding agencies and to policy makers. CHHP has incorporated the recommendations into their permanent model. In addition, the CHHP leadership, in a network with other Housing First advocates, has disseminated the findings at national conferences and networking meetings. The authors' relationship with CHHP will continue with the design of a second stage research strategy in order to continue research on Harm Reduction Housing and policy advocacy.

Résumé Les auteurs présentent une recherche conduite auprès de six réseaux de soins et de santé associant professionnels des soins hospitaliers, soignants de ville et associations de bénévoles. Ils mettent en évidence et analysent les tensions qui se manifestent lors de la création des « cadres » définissant l’action à conduire. Ils présentent in fine les conditions à réunir pour qu’une géronto-gériatrie associant hôpital public et médecine de ville assure des soins optima aux personnes âgées fragiles.
