Through the pilot program, the team asks gunshot victims about their needs with a focus on mental health, resiliency, and social determinants of health.
INDIANAPOLIS — For nearly a decade, Jennifer Burchett’s worked as an ER and trauma nurse. She has seen it all at IU Health Methodist Hospital -- one of the state’s four Level One Trauma Centers.
She continued, “What we haven’t anticipated, but now we’re getting used to, is that we’re going to see a gunshot victim — at least one — every day. Every single day.” “So we’re not just letting them go and kicking them out the door. I think it’s really important to keep tabs if they need it,” Duncan said.
Since starting last month, the team screened 17 patients and identified 14 at risk for developing PTSD. Out of the group screened, 15 of them were linked to outside community resources to get help with food, jobs and housing.
