Background: Five Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs) in California, funded for 4 years, worked collaboratively across different organizations to provide education on aging issues and/or training to enhance services for older adults.
Objectives: To investigate characteristics of the collaborations that were associated with perceptions and experiences of success for participating organizations.
Methods: A survey distributed to 37 organizations participating in 5 GWEPs measured the correlation of resources and dimensions of collaboration with perceived sense of success of the collaborations. Interviews with 30 representatives of the participating organizations collected information about perceived barriers, impact, and satisfaction with the collaborations.
Results: Overall perceptions of interorganizational collaboration success were associated with provision of physical resources and four key measures of collaboration (governance, administration, mutuality, and norms/trust). Barriers to success were described in terms of organization functioning and resources. Strong communication appeared as a facilitator of success, and reciprocity was described as a key experience of satisfaction.
Conclusions: This study highlights the positive effects of shared goals, the experience of reciprocity, and communication during interorganizational collaborations. It also notes the negative effects of having inadequate resources and organizational dysfunction.

Organizational factors impacting the implementation of a digital mental health tool in Alberta's mental health care of youth and young adults.

Faculty of Social Work, Mathison Centre for Mental Health Education and Research, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
With mental health concerns on the rise among youth and young adults (age 12-24), increased mental health options include virtual care, apps and online tools, self-management and tracking tools, and digitally-enabled coordination of care. These tools may function as alternatives or adjuncts to face-to-face models of care. Innovative solutions in the form of digital mental health (dMH) services not only provide support, resources and care, but also decrease wait times and waitlists, increase access, and empower youth.

Background: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, little was known about the spread of COVID-19 in Dutch nursing homes while older people were particularly at risk of severe symptoms. Therefore, attempts were made to develop a nationwide COVID-19 repository based on routinely recorded data in the electronic health records (EHRs) of nursing home residents. This study aims to describe the facilitators and barriers encountered during the development of the repository and the lessons learned regarding the reuse of EHR data for surveillance and research purposes.

The Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Background: New models of care that integrate health and social care provision around the patient require a supportive infrastructure, including interorganizational arrangements and information systems. While public policies have been designed to facilitate visions of integrated care, these often neglect the implementation of effective and efficient delivery mechanisms.
Method: This study examines a decade of attempts to move from fragmented health and care delivery to integrated care at scale in NHS England by developing and implementing a support infrastructure.
Examining the presence and effects of coherence and fragmentation in the Gulf of Maine fishery management network.

Unlabelled: Natural resource management networks cohere due to mutual dependencies and fragment, in part, due to the perceived risks of interaction. However, research on these networks has tended to accept coherence a priori rather than problematizing dependence, and few studies exist on interorganizational risk perception. This article presents the results of a study operationalizing these concepts and measuring the distribution of three types of dependence (capital, legitimacy, and regulatory) and two types of perceived risk (performance and sanction) among nearly fifty stakeholder groups and organizations participating in the management of fisheries in the binational Gulf of Maine.

Article Synopsis
- Collaborative interorganizational networks are used in healthcare to handle complex issues like fragmentation and high costs, but high member involvement doesn't always lead to satisfaction regarding network goals.
- A study in a Dutch primary care network revealed that even engaged members can feel dissatisfied due to social comparisons and prioritizing their own organizational goals over network goals.
- Three pathways to low perceived goal attainment were identified: over-achieving, frontrunning, and freeriding, indicating that involvement alone isn't enough for satisfaction if members are focused on different objectives.
