POLARIS-DV (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE)
Helping abused adults improve mental health and avoid revictimization

000001746875
Polaris-DV is a Web-based outcomes assessment system that provides an efficient and effective means for domestic violence screening, referral and service planning for the medical and public sectors.

With Polaris-DV, providers can assess for the mental impact of abuse, determine and monitor an appropriate treatment plan and document the high-risk attitudes, behaviors and long-term relational schema for revictimization. Real-time reports allow providers to take immediate action in setting victims on the road to recovery.

The system also addresses a costly service gap for domestic violence victims. Less than 10 percent of providers routinely screen for IPV, which has significant physical, mental and economic consequences. Undiagnosed abuse can lead to increased health care utilization and hospitalizations—abused women can use up to 33 percent more health care services than non-abused women.
