Advancing Hospital Safety and Team Resilience

Workplace violence in health care is an urgent challenge — compromising safety, impacting morale and contributing to burnout. Policies and procedures are important, but they are not enough. Health systems increasingly are turning to human-centered, trauma-informed approaches that go beyond compliance to create a more secure, supportive environment for patients and staff alike.
In this AHA Leadership Scan from 1 to 2 p.m. ET Thursday, Dec. 4., hospital executives will share practical, solution-driven strategies their organizations are using to reduce violence, strengthen resilience and foster a culture of healing.

Attendees Will Learn:
- Innovative strategies for implementing trauma-informed care in the health care environment.

- The benefits of multidisciplinary training that applies trauma-informed practices to anticipate and manage violent incidents.
