Indirect Services via TeleSANE
The TeleSANE Program utilizes telemedicine to connect facility site clinicians to consultants specifically trained in caring for patients who have experienced a sexual assault.
The program provides equipment, education, and guidance to providers across the state of Missouri to support a standardized care of practice. The consultants can be brought into the room with the site nurse and the patient for as much support that is needed via a provided telecart.
The program connects the community resources and helps build bridges to create a multi-disciplinary approach to sexual assault care. Patients can expect an evidence-based, trauma-informed medical forensic exam, connections to resources, and after-care follow-up guidance.
Program Development
If your hospital or community wants to develop a forensic program, SANE Healthcare Services has over 17 years of experience in program development. We will provide an initial assessment and evaluation, provide all policies, procedures, medication protocols, and billing and reimbursement procedures and limitations. We will provide training to your staff, assuring competent evidence collection and integrity. We will also include a SANE kit which will provide the clinician with everything they need to complete a medical forensic examination, including male and female charts for documentation. Once your program is developed we will continue to update you on any local, state, or federal regulations to ensure your hospital remains compliant on local, state, and federal levels.
SANE Training
What you need to apply for the Sexual Assault Nurse Training Certification Program
The Program invites applications from dedicated individuals committed to delivering compassionate care to sexual assault patients. Becoming a SANE-certified nurse entails completing a rigorous 40-hour-plus certification training program and committing to a minimum number of on-call hours as a SANE nurse.
Our innovative training model blends live and online lectures, recorded presentations, small group discussions, and a comprehensive one-day clinical experience. Training components include approximately 15 hours of recorded modules, 8 live sessions (totaling 24 hours), and a full-day, on-site clinical.
Clinical sessions are conducted in small groups, ensuring personalized attention for each SANE candidate. Candidates are required to attend all live and online training sessions, complete all recorded modules and quizzes, and demonstrate competency during the on-site clinical day.
Following successful completion of a SANE preceptorship, candidates will be fully competent to provide care to adolescent (14 years and older) and adult sexual assault patients while on-call.
SANE Healthcare Services collaborates with multiple community partners to deliver diverse and high-quality training that meets national and International Association of Forensic Nursing standards. Upon fulfilling the didactic requirements, candidates will participate in an eight-hour clinical day known as SANE-A-PALOOZA.
