Hi all,
Thank you for the great links to sample outcomes. I've been able to find many examples that will help build our case. That said, I wasn't able to find any outcomes in the healthcare setting (reduced disease rates, reduced utilization, etc). If anyone has specific examples of this, I'd be eternally grateful... my next stop is a call to Nadine Burke Harris' clinic.
Thank you!!!!

Aargh. I just went through every example in the "Cookbook" and not a single one lists any outcomes in the healthcare setting.
Katie - we are just starting to see results from healthcare settings. Advancing Trauma-Informed Care, led by the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) through support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a national initiative aimed at understanding how trauma-informed approaches can be practically implemented across the health care sector. CHCS is overseeing a multi-site pilot demonstration including six competitively selected health care organizations committed to improving care for individuals with a history of trauma. The pilot efforts, representing a range of delivery systems and populations, are designed to expand and enhance trauma-informed approaches with a focus on improving patient outcomes, decreasing costs, and increasing staff resiliency. You can read about it and other resources they have here: https://www.chcs.org/project/a...rauma-informed-care/ (but not sure when we'll be getting results).
If you haven't visited the 'Becoming Trauma-Informed and Beyond' community check out the resources in the Blog categories - Measuring Change & solutions stories for example. An article on Jeffrey Brenner may give you something...
Finally, Jane has written on pediatric clinics integrating ACEs- the article doesnt include quantifiable outcomes but gets to some qualitative findings that you may find useful.
Thank you for keep bringing it back to the question of outcomes - SO Important!
Happy Holidays!

Hi, Katie: Attached is a report, Self-Healing Communities, that has very broad health outcomes, such as child injury hospitalizations and infant mortality.
Cheers, Jane
Also, when I published this story last year â https://acestoohigh.com/2016/1...childhood-adversity/ â the clinic saw a 30% drop in emergency department use and an increase in the number of people showing up for their health care appointments. I'm sure they have more recent data.
