Benchmark for Abuse Screening

  • 1.  Benchmark for Abuse Screening

    Posted 06-11-2024 13:45

    Hello, I am looking for updated information on Abuse/Neglect/Sexual Assault screening. I reviewed previous posts on this topic and saw a response (2017) for outpatient clinics that follow the TJC standards for screening all patients.  I am interested in updated information on the topic that might include ambulatory clinics that are not subject to TJC.

    What benchmarks/goals are used?

    Are certain types of visit types included/excluded?  Example: Include new patient, routine office visit, etc.  Exclude lab only visit, x-ray only visit, etc.

    For positive screens are you referring to community resources?  Have social workers available?

    Thank you,
