Tools assist providers in reporting human trafficking

To support the American Hospital Association’s (AHA) Hospitals Against Violence initiative, law firm Jones Day developed a tool to help providers navigate the complex roadmap of their obligations to report human trafficking and offer education on the topic. The Hospitals Against Violence initiative includes several other human trafficking resources. Laura Castellanos, associate director for the initiative, discussed in a March 2020 Voice of Nursing Leadership Q&A how to develop human trafficking victim identification and response programs. A podcast featuring New Jersey-based Atlantic Health’s Ingrid Johnson, RN, and Brian Gragnolati, Atlantic’s CEO and past AHA Board Chair, discussed the importance of C-suite leadership in supporting efforts to raise awareness of and combat human trafficking. Highlights from a C-suite virtual convening video showcase how more than 100 senior leaders learned how they could fight human trafficking.
