Acute Care Medical Hospitals

Greetings,

I continue to have difficulty finding protocols for M.D.'s or nurses to follow in the acute care medical community.  Often we see patient's with complex medical diagnosis that truly represent a connection to childhood adversities, but physicians and nurses are fearful to address ACEs because they do not have supportive research or protocols to follow. The physicians and nurses are requesting evidence of protocols that have been utilized within acute care hospital settings.  Without this evidence or standard protocol they feel it is best to not address ACEs but to allow the mental health community to address the topics, if the patient chooses or can afford mental health counseling.  Are there any resources for M.D.'s and nurses available?  Are there any physicians that have implemented a protocol or standard of practice within their health care organization?
