title: Why SANEs matter: models of care for sexual violence victims in the emergency department.
abstract: This study examines models of SANE service in the ED and quality of care. Nurse managers of all 82 EDs in Virginia were surveyed (RR 76%). Five models emerged: 1) No SANE services (27.4%); 2) Victims transferred off-site for services (14.5%); 3) Partial coverage of services by ED SANEs (16.1%); 4) SANEs called in from off-site (6.5%); and 5) Full-coverage of services by ED SANEs (35.5%). Models 4 and 5 consistently provided a higher quality of care.
