Navigating the Rising Tide of Violence: Ensuring Safety in Health Care Environments
Updating your strategies to protect health care workers

Health care and social services experience the highest rates of injuries caused by workplace violence, according to the Department of Labor, jeopardizing their ability to care for their communities.
Hospitals and health system teams experienced violence well before the pandemic, from bullying and incivility to active shooters, intimate partner violence, homicides and suicides. The compounding trauma of the pandemic and violence against health care workers by patients, family members and visitors has heightened the need to create a safer workplace and a more resilient workforce.
What does all this mean to your organization and how can you respond effectively to ensure the safety and security of your workforce?
Join leaders in security and health care for a panel discussion on the increasing prevalence of workplace violence in health care settings. The panel will explore critical topics including the rise in violence, how to distinguish between violent and uncomfortable interactions, and the impact these incidents have on safety. Learn proven violence prevention techniques and discover strategies for building trust in safety protocols.
Attendees Will Learn:
- To identify and respond to workplace violence threats inside and outside facility walls.
- The difference between violence and uncomfortable interactions and how each relates to safety.
- How to build trust in health care settings, including home care services to improve the safety of health care workers.
- How to implement best practices in violence prevention techniques and reporting on increased workplace violence incidents.
