Facilities with an established SANE program who have contracted with the State of Missouri to be a “hub” site offer consultative SANE services via telehealth to hospitals without 24/7 SANE coverage (“satellites”) in performing sexual assault forensic exams for survivors. Cox Health in Springfield, Missouri, is the “hub” site for the southwest Missouri region. The Missouri telehealth network will provide consultation, guidance, or technical assistance to appropriate medical providers using telehealth services during a forensic examination of a victim of a sexual offense. The State of Missouri will provide equipment and training for Missouri hospitals to ensure hospitals’ ability to conduct forensic examinations In the event an Emergency Department (ED) Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) is not available, the SAFE-T nurse, under guidance of a SANE or another similarly trained appropriate medical provider via the Missouri telehealth network, will conduct a forensic examination and forensic evidence collection in the Freeman Joplin or Neosho Emergency Departments for consenting adult patients who were sexually assaulted within the previous 5 days. The SAFE-T nurse will properly store examination evidence so that it can be collected by a law enforcement agency or placed in long-term storage per the patient’s wishes
