Domestic Violence and Health Care Protocols

”Futures Without Violence, formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund has selected model protocols from various health care settings across the United States as well as highlights about the health care practice that has implemented the model protocol. As you will see, some of the protocols are comprehensive and others brief but adequate in addressing the role of providers. There are protocols that address specific settings and others that demonstrate creative strategies in responding to domestic violence or lifetime exposure to violence. All are designed to provide you with a blueprint for preparing for and responding effectively and efficiently to patients experiencing domestic violence.”
