(3) To ensure that appropriate follow-up care for the victim is coordinated and that clinical treatment is standardized through use of clinical pathways.
(4) To increase the number of victims who consent to the forensic exam, improve the quality of the forensic evidence collected, and improve the quality of clinical courtroom testimony to increase conviction rates, while at the same time giving the victim the choice about whether to report the crime to the Albuquerque Police Department or the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office.
