JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

PSU SAFE-T Center Description:

The mission of the nurse-led SAFE-T Center model in the College of Nursing at PSU is to provide expert SANE training, mentoring and quality assurance to less experienced nurses conducting sexual abuse examinations in rural communities. The Center was launched in 2017 with grant support from the Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (award # 2016-NE-BX-K001). The Center aims to solve issues of access and equity to high-quality care by not only building a model telehealth program that grows and supports the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) prepared workforce, but also by developing solutions that are sustainable long-term, so that victims will always have access to this level of care in their own communities. The Center is focused on three core values: 1) Person-centered care; 2) Evidence-based solutions; and 3) Sustainable partnerships. These values drive our service; to provide partner hospitals with 24/7 expert SANE live exam support and peer review to less experienced SANE nurses in underserved communities using advanced visual telehealth technology, and to provide ongoing training to support a stable cadre of SANE nurses where they are needed.  

Company Description: SAFE-T System

The SAFE-T System is an innovative solution to the chronically unsolved issue of disparate SA care quality in most U.S. hospitals. Advancing this grant-supported academic discovery to a commercial enterprise is novel and will allow for broad adoption wherever there is need. This hub and spoke model will benefit from economies of scale and will demonstrate a sustainable solution to quality forensic care through effective cost, value, and growth metrics. Providing hospital access to a turnkey service to solve gaps in specialty SA care can substantially decrease disparities in care for vulnerable populations, and impact SA victims’ healing trajectory and criminal justice outcomes.

The SAFE-T System company aims to be a for-profit business, independent from PSU, to allow for rapid growth and adoption of SAFE-T technology and the SAFE-T expert teleconsultation service model. The company may offer:

• The SAFE-T System technology as an independent product, a stand-alone telehealth-enabled forensic photo-documentation medical device and secure, cloud-based back
