Intimate Partner Violence & Human Trafficking: Clinical Skills, EHRs, & Community Partnerships for Patient Care
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) affects one in two women; two in five men; for people of trans experience, rates increase to one in three. Harms include abuse, reproductive coercion, sexually transmitted diseases, traumatic brain injuries and strangulation, substance use, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Human trafficking (HT), or Exploitation more broadly, has impacts mirroring IPV. 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), including highlighting a statewide transformation project led by Primary Care Association staff and other state partners that engaged more than 1,000 professionals across ten states and four Pacific Islands. Further, we will discuss the landscape of supportive community programs and tools to formalize partnerships and coordinate care between health centers and DVPs. HRSA began collecting IPV and HT diagnosis and services UDS data in 2020. Health centers have challenges capturing this IPV and HT 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 and HT within EHR for UDS reporting.
