He says it doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>Ross is a violence intervention specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Though he isn\u2019t a doctor, he\u2019s been working at the hospital as part of its Violence Prevention Program for close to 10 years. His team works with patients who are victims of violent injuries \u2014 stabbings, gunshots or physical assaults \u2014 and who physicians flag as candidates for the program\u2019s assistance.<\/p>\n<p>His challenge is to figure out the factors in their lives that put them at risk of violence. The work he does is time-consuming, and the relationships he builds with these patients can last months and even years. <a href=\"http:\/\/khn.org\/news\/for-hospitals-treating-violence-beyond-the-er-is-good-medicine-and-good-business\/?utm_campaign=KHN%3A+First+Edition&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=25424782&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_0LxixWCY5rCb30Xaeqh7992kF_JTyD-04bSY0LNEZZDoDKSuazeyMwPEMQC8D7t2cObXgV2eE_vpT4M4AOVVexYw2_Q&amp;_hsmi=25424782\" target=\"_blank\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kaiser Health News\u00a0is\u00a0a nonprofit national health policy news service that is part of the nonpartisan Henry J.
