The Wyoming State Action Plan focuses on improving women and maternal health by increasing the number of OBGYNs and CNMs, promoting safe and supportive environments for MCH populations by decreasing safe-sleep violations in licensed child-care facilities. It aims to promote healthy growth and development among children by developing partnerships to improve food sufficiency and increase access to quality systems of care by increasing the number of FQHCs and health clinics certified as PCMH. The plan also promotes individual and family self-advocacy by implementing Sources of Strength in schools, improving access to quality systems of care for children with special health care needs, promoting family thriving and resilience through nurse home visiting services and increasing childcare availability, and improving family and community engagement in Title V functions and programs.

The MITA 3.0 State Self-Assessment (SS-A) for the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) Division of Healthcare Financing outlines a strategic approach to Medicaid IT improvements. Conducted from November 2014 to January 2015, the SS-A leverages surveys to gather data on the Business Architecture, Information Architecture, Technical Architecture, and Seven Standards and Conditions. The plan aims to enhance data sharing, streamline processes, and align with MITA objectives for improved Medicaid program operations. Key initiatives include the WINGS project, which focuses on replacing the legacy MMIS with a modular, service-oriented architecture to achieve cost efficiency, adaptability, and better stakeholder experiences.

Additionally, it addresses adolescent health by focusing on motor vehicle safety and suicide prevention, while improving systems of care for children with special health care needs and strengthening the MCH workforce capacity.
