Patient care

Every patient should be screened for intimate partner violence during each health care encounter. Health care settings should have a well-tested screening tool available for caregivers, as well as signs in each waiting room and restroom identifying resources for the abused, such as telephone hotlines and regional shelters. If a patient screens positive for abuse, more complete assessment tools are useful to ascertain the degree of risk that is present. It is important for health care professionals to have a concrete intervention plan in place to protect vulnerable patients.
