The goal of this prospective study is to test the: acceptability of trauma-informed care plans; the intervention appropriateness; and the feasibility of the trauma-informed care plans in the electronic health care record. Patient seen in various health care settings and how have complex health care needs will be invited to participate in this study. The aims to are:

Aim 1: Explore the acceptability of trauma-informed care plans, the appropriateness of trauma-informed care plans, and the feasibility of Trauma-Informed Care Plans(TICP) when used by clinicians on the health care team (HCTC). Hypothesis 1: HCTC using the TICP will report its acceptability, feasibility, satisfaction and ease of use. Hypothesis 2: HCTC will report heightened awareness of intersection of trauma and social determinants of health. Hypothesis 3: HCTC will report more awareness of the patient's unique preferences and will be better informed regarding the unique plan of care for their patient.

Aim 2: Explore the impact of having a TICP by patients understanding how the TICP may have improved their experience around care and treatment. Hypothesis 1: patients will report: improved satisfaction with their care. Hypothesis 2: patients will report feeling better known by HCT. Hypothesis 3: will report less stress and anxiety related to health care encounters.
