Domestic and family violence (DFV) is a profound health concern, placing women at a disproportionate risk of injury or death. Research shows that women who experience DFV have higher rates of physical illness than women who do not, resulting in more frequent contact with healthcare providers, which creates an opportunity for intervention. Video-based interventions may provide a beneficial, accessible, and cost-effective method to increase awareness and help-seeking behaviours in women who may be experiencing DFV. This review evaluated the effectiveness of video interventions targeted at women within healthcare settings and assessed the characteristics of these videos to inform future developments. We conducted a systematic review of key databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science). Twelve articles describing seven trials underwent quality appraisal (QuADS) and were included in the review. Interventions were either standalone videos or embedded within DFV screening processes. Findings suggest that video interventions have the potential to improve help-seeking behaviours related to DFV; however, no effect was observed on quantitative measures of knowledge or quality of life. Although findings were mixed, feedback from women and healthcare staff was favourable. Video interventions appeared to be most effective when shown in private settings prior to appointments with healthcare providers, when videos could prompt further discussion with healthcare staff. Further research is recommended to identify the optimal format of delivery that aligns with women's needs for discretion and safety.

Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
