Domestic Violence Education Initiative UnderwayAs introduced in the winter edition of Messenger, Keystone Mercy is participating in a collaborative domestic violence education program with the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) and other HealthChoices managed care organizations. There has been a growing recognition among health care professionals that domestic violence is a highly prevalent public health problem with devastating effects on individuals and families. Health care providers can play an important role in identifying domestic violence. Routine screening for domestic violence increases the opportunity for effective intervention and enables providers to assist their patients, and family members who are victims. The clinical model known as RADAR was developed by the Massachusetts Medical Society to assist clinicians in addressing domestic violence and is an excellent tool for assisting providers in the identification of and intervention with possible domestic violence victims. Use Your "RADAR" - Recognizing and Treating Partner Violence The acronym RADAR summarizes action steps physicians should take in recognizing and treating victims of partner violence. Remember to ask routinely about partner violence in your own practice. Ask directly about violence with such questions as "At any time, has a partner hit, kicked, or otherwise Document information about "suspected domestic violence" or "partner violence" in the patients chart. Assess your patient's safety. Is it safe for her to return home? Find out if any weapons are kept in the house, if the children are in danger, and if the violence is escalating. Review options with your patient. Know about the types of referral options (e.g., shelters, support groups, legal advocates).
