A Practical Guide on Intimate Partner Violence, Human Trafficking, and Exploitation and Technology Tools (2025). Resource Type: Publication. Description: Developed by National Training and Technical Assistance Partners, HITEQ and Health Partners on IPV+ Exploitation, this practical guide features key tools and principles to help health centers (HCs) develop safe documentation for intimate partner violence, human trafficking, and exploitation (IPV/HT/E) in their electronic health records (EHRs) and other technology tools. In 2020, the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) introduced new Uniform Data System (UDS) data elements for health centers (HCs) to report on IPV and HT/E. With the evolving landscape of data use in medical settings, it is imperative that HC staff understand privacy principles and implement best practices to protect confidentiality for survivors of IPV/HT/E. This resource features guidelines on documenting IPV/HT/E in the EHR using a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach. The guide also features tools that FUTURES has developed alongside health IT platforms, namely for eClinicalWorks and OCHIN Epic, to aid HCs in using the evidence-based CUES intervention that focuses on universal education approaches on IPV/HT/E.

Enhancing Emergency Preparedness in Health Centers for Addressing IPV, HT, and Exploitation (2024). Resource Type: Publication. Description: Historical data show that crises exacerbate rates of IPV and HT/E. This 4-page educational brief outlines strategies for enhancing emergency preparedness in health centers (HCs), focusing on intimate partner violence (IPV), human trafficking (HT), and exploitation (E).

IPV is a prevalent issue with 1 in 2 women and 2 in 5 men report experiencing IPV in their lifetime - patients who experience IPV, HT, and E experience a range of adverse health issues. Emergencies increase the incidence as survivors face heightened isolation and reduced access to services, making it critical for HCs to strengthen their preparedness.
