Learning Objectives:
- Identify innovative strategies to implement recommendations on screening for lifetime exposure to violence including utilizing technology to support bio-psychosocial screening.
- Describe how national health associations are supporting their members to identify, respond and prevent abuse.
- Feature partnerships between health care professionals and advocates that are working together to improve the health and safety of victims of violence.
Description:
The last two years have brought about tremendous changes to the health care response to violence in the U.S. New recommendations for screening for domestic violence as a core women’s preventive health service and renewed commitment to violence prevention as part of a National Prevention Strategy will open the door to making assessment and response to violence across the lifespan a new standard of care. Panelists will discuss a shared commitment to doing this work safely and effectively and will share innovative approaches to move these policies from ideas into action.
