TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Abuse policies for healthcare institutions JO - Leadership in health services A1 - Kohm, C. A1 - McNally, M. J. A1 - Tiivel, J. SP - 36 EP - 39 VL - 5 IS - 5 N2 - Few hospitals have standard approaches to recognizing and treating victims of abuse. When staff at the Toronto Hospital realized they had no guidelines for handling such cases, they formed a task force to research the issue. The result was a set of policies and procedures which clearly outline the duties of staff who suspect abuse and, at the same time, make clear the hospital's role in addressing this serious issue.
