IN 2024, WFN WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS LONG-STANDING RECORD OF OUTSTANDING TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE AND PROVIDE SERVICES TO SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL AND INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR. WFN WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE CARE TO 1008 PATIENTS THROUGHOUT SALT LAKE, SUMMIT, UTAH, AND WASATCH COUNTIES. THIS IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF PATIENTS WFN HAS SERVED IN ITS HISTORY. AN ADDITIONAL 337 PATIENT CONSULTATIONS WERE COMPLETED BY OUR TEAM. THESE ARE DIRECT CONTACT PHONE CALLS WITH PATIENTS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, HOSPITALS, ADVOCATES AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS. IN 2024, WFN PROVIDED TWO CRITICAL TRAININGS TO OUR NURSES. THE FIRST BEING A COURT TRAINING HELD IN A REAL COURTROOM, SIMULATING A COURTROOM EXPERIENCE FOR OUR NURSES WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO PRACTICE TESTIFYING ON MOCK CASES. THE SECOND TRAINING WAS A SKILLS TRAINING IN WHICH OUR NURSES WERE ABLE TO CONDUCT MOCK EXAMS AND RECEIVE DETAILED, IN-DEPTH TRAINING ON TOPICS SUCH AS PHOTOGRAPHY, FEMR, AND INJURY DOCUMENTATION THAT ALLOWED THEM TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS AS FORENSIC NURSE EXAMINERS. UTILIZING FEDERAL VAWA FUNDING, WFN WAS ABLE TO SEND SEVERAL NURSES TO THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FORENSIC NURSING CONFERENCE. NURSES ATTENDED THE CONFERENCE AND BROUGHT BACK INFORMATION FROM VARIOUS SESSIONS THAT ALLOWED THEM TO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH THE ENTIRE TEAM SO EVERYONE BENEFITTED FROM THEIR ATTENDANCE AT THIS CONFERENCE. NURSES LEARNED ABOUT VARIOUS TOPICS THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THEIR DAILY WORK WITH WASATCH FORENSIC NURSES. 2024 BROUGHT A RECORD NUMBER OF NURSES TO THE TEAM. WFN HAS ALWAYS SOUGHT WAYS TO INCREASE NURSE RETENTION AND INCREASES IN PAY FROM 2023 THAT WERE CARRIED OVER TO 2024 ASSISTED IN THIS ENDEAVOR. APPROXIMATELY 36% OF NURSES ON THE TEAM IN 2024 HAD THREE YEARS OR MORE WITH THE TEAM. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND LEADERSHIP THESE NURSES BRING TO THE TEAM. WFN INCREASED IT'S RESOURCE TEAM IN 2024, PROMOTING FOUR ADDITIONAL NURSES TO SERVE IN THE RESOURCE POSITION. NOW A TEAM OF EIGHT, THE RESOURCE TEAM PROVIDED 24-HOUR ASSISTANCE TO THE TEAM, ANSWERING DIFFICULT QUESTIONS, ASSISTING IN SIGNING MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING FOR INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE EXAMS, FINDING ADDITIONAL NURSES (NOT ON-CALL) TO RESPOND TO CASES WHEN THE ON-CALL NURSES WERE ALREADY ASSISTING PATIENTS, AND DEBRIEFING WITH THE NURSES AFTER CASES, AMONGST OTHER THINGS. FEEDBACK FROM THE NURSES REGARDING RESOURCE IS THAT IT IS AN INVALUABLE TOOL TO HAVE SOMEONE YOU CAN CALL ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT FOR ASSISTANCE. THIS HAS ALSO ASSISTED IN THE RETENTION OF NURSES ON THE TEAM, WITH MOST NURSES REPORTING THEY FEEL SUPPORTED AND HEARD. COLLECTIVELY, BETWEEN ALL EIGHT NURSES, THERE IS A REPRESENTATION OF OVER 58 YEARS OF FORENSIC NURSE EXAMINER EXPERIENCE. WFN CONTINUED TO PROVIDE PRECEPTORSHIPS TO NURSES FROM ACROSS THE STATE IN 2024. WFN TRAINED SIX FORENSIC NURSE EXAMINERS FROM VARIOUS AREAS OF THE STATE, ALLOWING NURSES FROM RURAL TEAMS, WHO MAY CARE FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF PATIENTS EACH YEAR, TO SPEND FOUR DAYS WITH OUR TEAM SHADOWING EXAMS, CONDUCTING MOCK EXAMS, AND RECEIVING ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS AS FORENSIC NURSE EXAMINERS. FEEDBACK FROM NURSES WHO ATTENDED THE TRAINING IN 2024 FOUND IT HELPFUL, AND THEY LEARNED ADDITIONAL SKILLS THAT ASSISTED THEM WITH PATIENT CHARTING, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES. WFN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LEADER IN FORENSIC NURSING AND HAS MAINTAINED WAYS TO PASS ALONG KNOWLEDGE TO OTHER TEAMS IN THE STATE. WFN BEGAN TARGETED OUTREACH TO LOCAL UNIVERSITIES WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA TO OFFER PRESENTATIONS TO STUDENTS AND VARIOUS UNIVERSITY GROUPS TO INCREASE AWARENESS SURROUNDING SEXUAL ASSAULT AND INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE. THIS OUTREACH WAS FRUITFUL, ALLOWING WFN TO PRESENT TO FIVE UNIVERSITY GROUPS FROM BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY, NOORDA COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, AND WESTMINSTER UNIVERSITY, REACHING 130 STUDENTS DURING THESE PRESENTATIONS. THE ABOVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS SOLIDIFY WASATCH FORENSIC NURSES' COMMITMENT TO CARE, COMMUNITY, AND EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR NOT ONLY OUR TEAM, BUT VARIOUS COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND OTHER FORENSIC NURSING TEAMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. WFN IS HONORED TO BE CONSIDERED A LEADER IN FORENSIC NURSING IN UTAH. WE CONTINUE TO SEEK OUT WAYS TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE OUR CARE MODALITIES AS PART OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM, WHILE UTILIZING EVIDENCE- BASED PRACTICES AND PROVIDING PATIENT-CENTERED CARE TO INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE. OUR SUCCESS HINGES ON OUR NURSES' DEDICATION AND THE TEAM'S ABILITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING CARE TO SURVIVORS. 725670 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 false 46 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false true false true true true false UT X X DANA THOMAS 8014615888 1245 E BRICKYARD RD SUITE 110 SALT LAKE CITY UT 841062576 DANA THOMAS EXECUTIVE DI 40.00 X 96816 0 0 DARA COHEN BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 SGT MELODY CUTLER BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 DIANNE FULLER BOARD MEMBER 9.65 X 0 0 0 LORI JENKINS BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 JIM ANTONORI MD BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 KENNETH ROACH CHAIR 0.25 X X 0 0 0 LEISSA ROBERTS BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 96816 false false false 147604 202565 3077 350169 EXAM INCOME 727791 727791 727791 4430 4430 1082390 727791 4430 96816 67771 24204 4841 499370 476547 12521 10302 50724 46311 3125 1288 163 163 5491 5491 4128 3729 399 3455 3334 104 17 22313 22136 151 26 3869 3734 116 19 29092 28073 873 146 7493 7493 7102 6853 213 36 17888 17524 258 106 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 15557 15012 467 78 TEAM MEMBER TRAINING 14800 10000 4800 MEDICAL SUPPLIES 14535 14535 MEALS 1615 1559 48 8 1079 1059 17 3 795490 725670 52950 16870 370243 467545 250098 454449 79787 39186 13698 8289 41587 28240 13047 13347 726873 982816 68681 37724 68681 37724 X 658192 945092 658192 945092 726873 982816 286900 X true false true false X 191477 222787 333325 225932 347092 1320613 356304 383319 331574 633585 727791 2432573 547781 606106 664899 859517 1074883 3753186 53000 50500 57000 55000 95500 311000 53000 50500 57000 55000 95500 311000 3442186 24 21 95 341 4430 4911 24 21 95 341 4430 4911 8294 8294 547805 606127 673288 859858 1079313 3766391 0.91390 0.91460 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false true false false false false true 945 false false 945 false SCHEDULE C, PART II-B, LINE 1 THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ATTENDS ONE MEETING FOR ONE HOUR EACH MONTH FROM JUNE-DECEMBER FOR THE UTAH SEXUAL VIOLENCE POLICY ALLIANCE.
