This webinar will include an update on the Antum/SCHA Workplace Violence Data Collaborative.  

Workplace violence (WPV) in healthcare is an epidemic that has continued to grow during the Covid-19 pandemic. This webinar explores the cost of WPV to healthcare organizations, patients and healthcare workers and evidence-based interventions that can reduce the risk of WPV.

The relationship between organizational culture and success of violence prevention efforts will be discussed together with an approach to developing effective, sustainable WPV programs that meet regulatory requirements.

Freely available resources to assist healthcare facilities to develop and implement a WPV program will be highlighted.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the scope and cost of WPV in healthcare and related WPV regulations and standards
  
• Define an approach to developing a sustainable WPV program that has a foundation in creating a culture of worker and patient safety
• Identify evidence-based interventions to manage and prevent WPV 
• Identify resources that can be used to enhance or develop a WPV program
