Initially developed through pilot studies that assessed the feasibility, HARP advanced to clinical trials. Subsequently, the program was implemented within the Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) network, demonstrating its scalability and effectiveness in community settings.  \nThe current phase of HARP development involves its adaptation for individuals aging with long-term disabilities, addressing the complex needs of a diverse aging population. This series of studies, progressing through the translational continuum, underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and team science in the development and dissemination of innovative OT interventions. Collaborative efforts among occupational therapists, gerontologists, public health experts, and other stakeholders have been integral to refining HARP’s methodology and achieving measurable improvements in home safety outcomes.  \nThese findings provide a valuable roadmap for emerging scholars and professionals seeking to implement evidence-based strategies in gerontology and occupational therapy. This presentation delineates the evolution of HARP through pilot testing, clinical trials, and LTSS network implementation and describes barriers to implementation.","cbCaibZ84p8GoE12","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibZ84p8GoE12","pdf",148068,"English","# Evolution of the HARP Program\n## Pilot testing and feasibility\n## Clinical trials\n## LTSS network implementation\n## Adaptation for long-term disabilities\n## Barriers and implementation lessons","[{\"question\":\"What role does occupational therapy play for older adults at home?\",\"answer\":\"Occupational therapy helps ensure home environments are safe and accessible, with a focus on reducing falls.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the HARP program developed and validated?\",\"answer\":\"HARP was first created through pilot studies to assess feasibility, then progressed to clinical trials before being implemented in the LTSS network.\"},{\"question\":\"What is HARP currently being adapted for?\",\"answer\":\"The current phase adapts HARP for individuals aging with long-term disabilities to address complex and diverse needs.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is interdisciplinary collaboration emphasized in developing HARP?\",\"answer\":\"Collaboration among occupational therapists, gerontologists, public health experts, and other stakeholders helps refine the program’s methodology and improve measurable home safety outcomes.\"}]","HOME MODIFICATIONS FOR OLDER ADULTS - THE HARP PROGRAM | PDF",1790624572,{"code":4,"msg":86,"data":102},[103,107,111,115,120,125,128,133,138,141,144],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":121,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":124},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":90,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},40,"healthcare",{"id":129,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":132},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":136,"slug":137},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":139,"show_sort_weight":136,"slug":140},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":142,"show_sort_weight":55,"slug":143},"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":145,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":146,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":147},19,"General","general"]
