Hidden Victims: A Guide for Healthcare Providers in Identifying Human Trafficking Victims
1/8/2024
Part One: Hidden Victims: A Guide for Healthcare Providers in Identifying Human Trafficking Victims
Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat61
Target Audience
This activity is targeted toward primary care providers, advanced providers and healthcare clinicians.
Statement of Need
According to the American Public Health Association, the health system plays an important role in identifying and treating victims of human trafficking. Estimates show that approximately 80 percent of human trafficking victims are women, and health care providers are often the first professionals to have contact with trafficked women and girls. One study found that close to 50 percent of trafficked individuals saw a health care professional during their exploitation. Clinicians need to be aware of red flags that their patient could be a victim of human trafficking, best practices for screening and assessing patients for trafficking, and their response as a health care professional, and resources for assisting the victims.
Providers should know how to screen patients for human trafficking; and what to do if there are indicators of a potential victim of human trafficking.

Addressing Firearm Injuries in Children and Teens
Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat51
Target Audience
This activity is targeted toward primary care and pediatric healthcare providers and advanced providers.
Statement of Need
Firearm injuries are now the leading cause of death in persons 0-24 years old, surpassing auto accidents. Yet, providers may not consistently ask parents/guardians about firearm ownership as a part of the wellness/preventative exam. Or, they may not be comfortable addressing firearm ownership and safety. Research and statistics have concluded that children who live in a home with a firearm are at increased risk of death by suicide or unintentional injury compared with children who live in a home without firearms. This podcast will discuss the guidelines for safe gun ownership as well as effective communication strategies in addressing gun ownership with parents/guardians as well as adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued guidelines for safe gun ownership that will be reviewed as well as guidelines for providers.

Strategies to DePrescribe in the Geriatric Population
Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat50
Target Audience
This activity is targeted toward primary care and geriatric healthcare providers and advanced providers.
Statement of Need
When patients are being treated by multiple providers and/or by a variety of physicians, The caregivers may not be aware of the complete prescription listing a patient has been prescribed. This is especially true if the patient sees providers in multiple healthcare systems, in that a centralized list may not be available in the electronic medical record. These circumstances may lead to potentially inappropriate prescribing (over-, mis- or underprescribing). Additionally, physicians/providers may not routinely do a medication review with patients that are at risk of polypharmacy.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to:
1. Define polypharmacy; highlighting the prevalence.
2. List the factors that contribute to polypharmacy.
3. Describe the risk factors of polypharmacy.
4. Review effective strategies for deprescribing of medications.
5. Discuss key considerations for prescribing new medications.

Recognizing and ManagingPediatric Suicidality
Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat49
Target Audience
This activity is targeted toward primary care and pediatric healthcare providers and advanced providers.
Statement of Need
Suicide is a major public health concern and the second leading cause of death for adolescents. Research suggests that many patients that commit suicide had seen a health care provider within two months preceding the event; yet, research also indicates that pediatricians may not feel adequately trained to manage behavioral health complaints, including suicidality. These factors reinforce the need for practitioners to screen patients for imminent suicidal risk. However, even if a screening assessment is utilized routinely, providers may not be fully comfortable managing a patient presenting an identified risk. (Adolescent suicide: what can pediatricians do? Current Opinion; 2020)
Objectives
1. At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to:
2. Describe the risk factors for suicidal idealization in the pediatric population.Discuss effective screening tools and implementation recommendations for suicidality.
3. List components of the patient safety plan for the at-risk patient.
