In 2007-2008, the Division of Injury & Violence Prevention at the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) collaborated with Old Dominion University to collect and analyze Virginia hospital policies related to intimate partner/domestic violence. Policies were reviewed using standardized critiquiquing guidelines based on best practice and standards set forth by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO); and each participting hospital was provided with the detailed analysis, recommendations, and a revised version of its current policy which incorporated the recommended changes. Nearly 74% of Virginia's hospitals participated in the project, which concluded in the summer of 2008. Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has published findings from the 2008 Intimate Partner Violence Hospital Policy Project in the form of a report, which can be accessed and downloaded at: www.projectradarva.com on the Homepage under News and Events. Please share this report with health care providers, hospital administrators, human resource staff, risk management professionals, victim advocates and other service providers.
