QuesGen founder, Mike Jarrett presents at the NNHVIP Conference

Michael Jarrett, founder and CEO of QuesGen Systems will be presenting at the National Network of Hospital-based Violence Intervention Programs (NNHVIP) 3rd Annual National Conference (April 28- 29, 2011) in Oakland, CA.

The mission of The National Network of Hospital-based Violence Intervention Programs (NNHVIP) is to Strengthen existing hospital-based violence intervention programs and help develop similar programs in communities across the country. The purpose of the conference is to bring together the best and most exciting programs to share knowledge, develop best practices, collaborate on research, affect policy change, and more.  Violence prevention and intervention programs are a powerful way to stop the revolving door of violent injury in our hospitals. Engaging patients in the hospital, during their recovery, is a golden opportunity to change their lives and reduce retaliation and recidivism.

Topics covered at the conference will include:
What Role Do Hospitals Play In Violence Prevention?
Preview of the NNHVIP Best Practices Curriculum for Launching and Sustaining a Program to Break the Cycle of Violence
Engaging in Advocacy & Advancing the NNHVIP Policy Agenda

Mike providing an overview of data management processes in The Wraparound Project, which is run by the San Francisco Injury Prevention Center and provides support to victims of violence at San Francisco General Hospital.  The system was implemented in January 2010 and has been an effective way of managing client flow and providing analysis of outcomes.
