Wyoming Updates

Please help the Wyoming Department of Health with a brief provider survey!

The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Unit in the Wyoming Department of Health is partnering with the Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND) to launch an ECHO learning community (What is ECHO?) focused on best practices in using and disseminating Bright Futures Guidelines.

Bright Futures is a national health promotion and prevention initiative, led by the American Academy of Pediatrics and supported, in part, by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). The Bright Futures Guidelines provide theory-based and evidence-driven guidance for all preventive care screenings and well-child visits.

As part of this project, online learning sessions will be created to help review literature/data and identify and tailor strategies to implement the theory-driven, evidence-informed practices identified in the AAP Bright Futures Guidelines.

To help guide our work, please provide us with some information about your experiences with the Bright Futures guidelines.

The 4th Edition builds upon previous editions with thoroughly revised and updated content that reflects the latest research. It presents a new focus on the social determinants of health and on lifelong physical and mental health. The Bright Futures/AAP Periodicity Schedule presents (in chart form) the screenings, assessments, physical examinations, procedures, and timing of anticipatory guidance recommended for each age-based visit in the Bright Futures Guidelines, 4th Edition.

Survey Request

The Office of Governor Mark Gordon is leading efforts for the Wyoming Governor's Challenge which is focused on suicide prevention across Wyoming. Wyoming has been partnering with several other states and national partners to help support service members, veterans, and their families. Wyoming's Governor's Challenge is currently moving into the implementation phases of our projects. One of our projects is to determine what types of training are occurring in Wyoming and then find a way to better coordinate efforts across the state. Our first step is to conduct a survey to determine who is training and what curriculums are being utilized.

Upon completion of the survey, we will be compiling the information and initiating a statewide training dashboard to help inform communities about training opportunities. We hope to provide a platform that is easy to use and encourages more community members to be trained in suicide prevention techniques in order to support our friends, families, and neighbors.
