Overview:
Hospital and health system leaders who continually emphasize the importance of physical and psychological well-being promote cultures that heighten safety in their organizations. They embed procedures into daily operations to instill a safety mindset at all levels, entrench security and safety functions in their enterprise strategies, and design their organizations to maximize safety. They also collaborate broadly and creatively across their institutions to prioritize these efforts.
As part of this guide, we offer leaders and implementers case studies that exemplify how a range of organizations have addressed workplace violence using both best practices and individual solutions that can be tailored based on an organization’s size, resources and culture.
