Series Overview: Healthcare facilities must often deal with the results of violence outside their walls, but sometimes the violence seeps into the healthcare environment itself, as with instances of domestic or gang violence that continue into a facility. In recent years violent crime in hospitals has increased 200% and the rate of non-fatal assaults on healthcare workers is much higher than the rate of non-fatal assaults for all private-sector industries combined. Clearly, healthcare workers must empower themselves to be prepared against possible violence.
Overview: This program demonstrates and describes the "four R's" of dealing with violence through recognizing the signals, resolving conflicts, responding quickly and reporting and documenting after an event.
