Child Abuse and Neglect Screening

  • 1.  Child Abuse and Neglect Screening

    Hi Group,

    The Joint Commission requires us to create a process and policy to screen our outpatients for child abuse and neglect during each outpatient encounter. Can any of my pediatric colleagues share how they are complying with this mandate?

    Thank you,

    Maria
