The sexual assault examination poses many problems for physicians. They must deal not only with the patient's physical and emotional trauma, but also collect forensic evidence, and provide proper treatment and follow-up. Patient management has been simplified and improved in Ontario by a standardized sexual assault examination kit. It has been used at McMaster University's Regional Sexual Assault Centre since its establishment in 1979. The first step in managing victims is ensuring their wellbeing, and treating them sympathetically. The kit provides information on consent, taking the sexual assault history, recording the patient's emotional status, and treatment guidelines. It also contains equipment and instructions on collecting clothing and body evidence, and on the genital and anal examination. The collection of good forensic evidence can decrease the need for doctors and nurses to testify in court.
性侵犯检查给医生带来了许多问题。他们不仅要处理患者的身体和情感创伤，还要收集法医证据，并提供适当的治疗和随访。安大略省通过标准化性侵犯检查工具包简化并改进了患者管理。自 1979 年麦克马斯特大学地区性侵犯中心成立以来，该工具包一直在使用。管理受害者的第一步是确保他们的福祉，并对他们表示同情。该工具包提供了关于同意、获取性侵犯史、记录患者情绪状态以及治疗指南的信息。它还包含有关收集衣物和身体证据以及生殖器和肛门检查的设备和说明。收集良好的法医证据可以减少医生和护士在法庭上作证的需要。
