2025 NWRPCA Spring Summit

The 2025 NWRPCA Spring Summit is set for May 18-20 in Anchorage, Alaska!

This year, Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation will present the following session on Monday, May 19th at 4:00 – 5:15 AKDT:

Intimate Partner Violence: Clinical Skills, EHRs tools, and Community Partnerships for Patient Care

In this talk, we discuss ways to support health and safety outcomes for survivors of violence who access health centers and domestic violence programs (DVPs). The session will begin with a definition of IPV and the related health impacts. We will discuss the landscape of supportive community programs across AK, ID, OR and WA with a lens on Alaska Native communities, and share adaptable tools to formalize partnerships and coordinate care between health centers and DVPs.  HRSA began collecting IPV diagnosis and services UDS data in 2020. Health centers have challenges capturing this data. This session will discuss ways your health center can systematically facilitate outreach, prevention, universal education, care for patients, and connections to resources while safely documenting IPV within EHRs for UDS reporting.

1. Define IPV and the health impact of abuse. 
2. List three ways to help your HC provide comprehensive care and services for people at risk or experiencing IPV.
3. Identify at least three national resources or tools available to health centers to help operationalize systems of care for patients affected by IPV. 

Speakers:

• Anna Marjavi, Director, Health Partners on IPV + Exploitation, Futures Without Violence
• Kristie M. Traver, Program Specialist, Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center (AKNWRC).
