Abstract

Abstract The goal of the Wyoming Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (WyGWEP) is to utilize partnerships to improve health outcomes for older adults by developing a healthcare workforce trained to address unmet health and social determinant needs of Wyoming’s older residents. The purpose of this presentation is to report results from the novel mixed-methods evaluation of the WyGWEP partnership. Data were gathered from WyGWEP stakeholders through the Partnership’s Self-Assessment Tool (n=17; Center for the Advancement of Collaborative Strategies in Health, 2002), which assesses domains of Synergy, Leadership, Resource Sharing — Non-financial and Financial, Benefits and Drawbacks, Decision Making, and Administration/Management and Satisfaction. Semi-structured interviews (n=12) with partnership participants provided additional information and context. Evaluation results indicate that WyGWEP partners are highly satisfied across all domains of the Partnership’s Self-Assessment Tool. WyGWEP partners from Eastern Shoshone Tribal Health will share what has contributed to a successful collaborative. Additional results related to how this type of partnership has influenced participants’ ability to complete objectives and activities will be reviewed.
