Child Abuse Services Medical Stream (SCAN) is a specialized service that provides medical services to children who have experienced physical / sexual abuse and / or neglect.
The healthcare team offers medical assessment to children who have been, or are at risk for, physical, sexual, or extreme neglect. The services that may be provided include:
- consults
- healthcare team assessment of the child who has been abused
- phone consults with other healthcare providers (regarding abuse or suspected abuse)
- referrals to other healthcare providers or agencies (as needed)
- education to healthcare providers about child abuse
- community child abuse prevention activities (e.g., resource development and distribution)
- a consult with the SCAN team does not fulfill your duty to report. You must still report Child Abuse concerns to Children and Family Services - Child Intervention Intake and response Team (CIRT)
