TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Screening and intervention for intimate partner violence in healthcare settings: the challenge of creating sustainable system-level programs JO - Journal of women's health (Larchmont) A1 - Hamberger, L. Kevin A1 - Rhodes, Karin A1 - Brown, Jeremy SP - 86 EP - 91 VL - 24 IS - 1 N2 - Among the barriers to routine screening for intimate partner violence (IPV) are time constraints, a lack of protocols and policies, and departmental philosophies of care that may conflict with IPV screening recommendations. To address these barriers, systems-level interventions are needed; in this article, we describe one model that may overcome these obstacles. We discuss how this systemic approach may best be implemented in both out-patient clinics and emergency departments (EDs) and note that evidence for its success will be required.
