The effort has included working with health practitioners—especially nurses working in clinics, long-term care facilities, and schools in Eastern Washington. The aims of this program have been to: • Enhance clinical decision-making and patient care for health practitioners • Improve the quality of life of older Americans • Prepare K-12 students for jobs in the future • Increase National Library of Medicine, NNLM PNR, HEALWA, and WSU Spokane visibility • Build capacity for sustaining these programs in rural and underserved areas A medical librarian at WSU taught seven webinars designed to introduce participants to HEALWA and other resources to a total of 243 nurse attendees. Four in-person workshops were delivered to a total of 48 school nurses in Benton, Grant, and Chelan counties. HEALWA also exhibited at the School Nurse Organization of Washington (SNOW) Spring Conference in order to make one-on-one contacts with the target population. The online self-guided HEALWA tutorial developed in 2016 was updated and further promoted to all health practitioners interested in learning how to use HEALWA on their own schedules.
