“…In five out of seven correlational outcome analyses, at least one statistically significant association was found between levels of interagency collaboration and positive client‐level or service‐level outcomes (Pandiani et al ; Hurlburt et al ; Bai et al ; Chuang & Wells ; Chuang & Lucio ). In one of these, greater interagency collaboration was associated with improved mental health status at endpoint (Bai et al ).…”

“…In one of these, greater interagency collaboration was associated with improved mental health status at endpoint (Bai et al ). Four studies found positive associations between levels of interagency collaboration and mental health service receipt (Pandiani et al ; Bai et al ; Chuang & Wells ; Chuang & Lucio ). In another study, greater interagency collaboration was associated with more focused service receipt, with a greater allocation of services to high‐need children as compared with low‐need children (Hurlburt et al ).…”

“…Six of the correlational studies found at least one statistically significant negative association between interagency collaboration and outcomes (Glisson & Hemmelgarn ; Pandiani et al ; Hurlburt et al ; Smith & Mogro‐Wilson ; Chuang & Wells ; Chuang & Lucio ). In one study, increased service co‐ordination showed a moderately strong negative association with service quality (Glisson & Hemmelgarn ), and three studies found that it was associated with decreased mental health service use (Hurlburt et al ; Chuang & Wells ; Chuang & Lucio ). Higher levels of interagency collaboration were also associated, in one study, with greater role overload and emotional exhaustion in staff (Smith & Mogro‐Wilson ).…”

The results are consistent with findings from previous reviews of interagency collaboration across adult and child services: there were some indications of benefit; and facilitating and inhibiting factors involved working relationships and multi-agency processes, resources and management. The identification of these factors has implications for practitioners, service managers, trainers, commissioners and researchers.

“…An ample amount of research has been conducted to identify the elements of interagency collaboration in the child welfare system and how they may benefit children and families (e.g., Bai, Wells, & Hillemeier, 2009;Chuang & Lucio, 2011;Chuang & Wells, 2010;Foster, Wells, & Bai, 2009;He, Lim, Lecklitner, Olson, & Traube, 2015;Hurlburt et al, 2004). These studies frequently operationalize interagency collaboration as the type or number of interagency structures and processes developed (i.e., "linkages").…”

Teaming up in child welfare: The perspective of guardians ad litem on the components of interprofessional collaboration

Policies and researchers have emphasized the need for interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in the child welfare system. However, few child welfare studies have sought to identify the components of IPC and no studies have been conducted in the U.S. to examine the perspective of guardians ad litem (GALs) on these components. Understanding the GAL viewpoint is warranted as they are mandated to be appointed in court-involved child welfare cases. This qualitative study addresses these gaps by exploring the GAL perspective on the main components of IPC.Interviews were conducted with 12 GALs in a mountain region state. Nine components of IPC emerged from the analysis, including communication and information sharing; problem-solving; respect and appreciation; joint decision-making; clarifying roles, responsibilities and expectations; sharing ideas and perspectives; mutual trust; shared responsibility; and establishing shared goals. The findings can inform the development of strategies to improve IPC in child welfare and guide future research.

“…Collaborative team science approaches have been found to be effective in promoting increased service use, streamlining referral processes, and ultimately improving outcomes in healthcare settings [2][3][4]. Despite the promise of this approach, implementation of such practices across health care systems and community agencies is relatively rare.…”

Enhancing cross-system collaboration for caregivers at risk for depression

In the United States, many health care systems function independently from one another. Increasing coordination across systems has the potential to vastly improve services and patient outcomes, yet implementing these changes can be challenging, requiring increased communication, interaction, and coordination across systems that typically function independently. Parental depression is one health issue that could benefit greatly from a comprehensive systems approach. The Helping Families Raise Healthy Children initiative is a cross-system quality improvement initiative aimed at improving identification and treatment of families faced with the dual challenge of caregiver depression and early childhood developmental delays. Four main techniques were used to foster and sustain cross-system collaboration and communication: cross-system trainings, regular meetings of collaborative partners, a cross-system learning collaborative for service providers, and two cross-system facilitators. The initiative achieved successful cross-system collaboration, suggesting that these methods may be used in other initiatives to foster similar types of collaboration across systems.
