2023 Threat Landscape: Violence Prevention in Healthcare Settings
Violence rates in healthcare have doubled since 2011, and nearly three-quarters of all violence-related nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2018 were incurred by healthcare workers. Workplace violence poses a significant threat to the health, safety and well-being of healthcare workers and has negative implications for their productivity, retention and the quality of care they provide to patients. As U.S. healthcare workers in the private sector are five times more likely to experience nonfatal violence-related injury compared to workers in all other private industries combined, it is imperative that OMSs and practice staff understand the types and sources of workplace violence. Attendees of this 90-minute webinar will learn strategies and techniques for mitigating this risk to their employees and their patients.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the unique risk of violence faced by healthcare providers.
- Identify the five types of workplace violence.
- List behavioral indicators of potential violence.
- Employ an effective response to an active threat in the practice environment.
- Initiate post-incident care for affected individuals and groups.
