title: Outcome indicators for sexual assault victims.
abstract: Measurable indicators create a profile of an organization's function and provide direction. In this study structure, process and outcome indicators for sexual assault victims are assessed and evaluated. The results present a portrait of the function, weaknesses, and benefits of one community SART program. The research findings suggest the need for improved documentation in the acute setting as well as the need for regular case review and case tracking to identify gaps in services.
