Violence in the Healthcare Workplace

30
About the Course
In 2019, over 20,000 American workers suffered trauma from workplace violence. Of these, 70% were employed in the healthcare and social assistance industries. Then came the pandemic. Like gasoline on a fire, COVID-19 sent stress levels skyrocketing among patients and clinicians alike. Continuing safety concerns have elevated violence in the healthcare workplace to a national issue — one that not all healthcare professionals may feel equipped to confront. In this podcast, you’ll explore common risks and identify strategies to help manage and mitigate violence in your workplace.
