“…In particular, network analysis results can help AHRQ and other involved organizations to better ''manage'' and cultivate partnership networks through such actions as bringing in new actors, reconfiguring their positions, encouraging particular types of connections, and reframing goals and tasks of collaborative efforts (Klijn 1996;Provan et al 2004)--strategies which can be used not only to develop their own partnership networks but also to build the capacity of the overall collaborative infrastructure for improvement.…”

Objectives. To document the numbers and types of interorganizational partnerships within the national patient safety domain, changes over time in these networks, and their potential for disseminating patient safety knowledge and practices. Data Sources. Self-reported information gathered from representatives of nationallevel organizations active in promoting patient safety. Study Design. Conclusions. Growth in partnerships signifies growing strength in the capacity to disseminate and implement patient safety advancements in the U.S. health care system. The centrality of AHRQ in these networks of partnerships bodes well for its leadership role in disseminating information, tools, and practices generated by patient safety research projects.

“…10,11 Instead, they more closely resembled the diffuse webs of connection found in multinational research collaborations 21 or in connections between agencies providing different types of services to individuals with human immunodeficiency virus or chronic disease. 22,23 This may be what happens when agencies with differing missions share overlapping concerns, but there has been no concerted effort to build collaboration. The pattern of diffuse clusters connected by links between a few key agencies also bears similarity to the initial collaboration patterns identified by Cross et al 24 in their study of interagency collaboration for youth development.…”

“…Organization staff tend to have their own agendas, service orientations, funding sources, and personal relationships which do not always align with the complex needs of the populations they serve (Provan & Milward, 2001;Provan, Veazie, Teufel-Shone, & Huddleston, 2004). Thus, organization staff has a tendency to view the community system from the perspective of their own organization and how it affects or is affected by relationships with other organizations (Provan, Veazie, Staten, & Teufel-Shone, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tOne explanation for the continued high rates of suicide in the United States may be insufficient coordination between organizations involved in prevention. Therefore, the factors that promote interorganizational collaboration should be identified and fostered. Surveys were administered to 37 organizations involved in suicide prevention in one Colorado community to: (1) assess the nature of collaboration and (2) identify relationship strength indicators associated with different types of collaboration. Results were examined using social network and regression analyses. Organizations reported more sharing information and resources and sending and receiving referrals than developing service infrastructure and coordinating training and screening activities. Some types of organizations were more connected than others, and the influence of relationship strength indicators was mostly consistent across different types of collaboration. This study offers new insight into the structural and relational aspects of interorganizational collaboration in suicide prevention and may serve as a model to better understand networks within other community health settings. © 2015 Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid.

Fortalecimiento de las redes de prevención del suicidio: colaboración interorganizativa y fuerza del lazoPalabras clave: Prevención del suicidio Colaboración interorganizativa Análisis de redes sociales Fortaleza del lazo Red de prevención comunitaria r e s u m e n Una explicación de la continuidad de las altas tasas de suicido en los Estados Unidos puede ser la insuficiente coordinación entre las organizaciones que participan en su prevención. En consecuencia debemos identificar y fomentar aquellos factores que promueven la colaboración entre organizaciones. Se encuestaron 37 organizaciones implicadas en la prevención del suicido en una comunidad de Colorado para (1) evaluar la naturaleza de la colaboración y (2) identificar indicadores de la fortaleza de las relaciones asociados con los diferentes tipos de colaboración. Los resultados se examinaron con análisis de redes sociales y análisis de regresión. En la relación entre las organizaciones fue más frecuente el intercambio de información y recursos, así como la derivación de usuarios, que el desarrollo de la infraestructura de los servicios, la coordinación de la formación o las actividades de detección. Unos tipos de organización estaban más conectadas que otras, y la influencia de los indicadores de intensidad de la relación eran en su mayor parte consistentes en los diferentes tipos de colaboración. Este estudio ofrece una nueva visión de los aspectos estructurales y relacionales de la colaboración interinstitucional en la prevención del suicidio y puede servir de modelo para entender mejor las redes en otros entornos comunitarios de salud.
