Download or read book Combating Workplace Violence written by Felix P. Nater and published by IAP. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the threat of violence impacting worker safety and business operations is a major concern. It is crucial that thoughtful violence prevention policies and supporting violence response plans be developed before any incidents occur in order to properly prepare to use, respond, engage, and react appropriately. Once violence begins or ends is not good enough. The threats are real, and the risks must be managed. A violent threat from a current or former employee, domestic violence or relationship violence spillovers, and the threat posed by criminals committing crimes against people and property are concerns for which all organizations must prepare. Incident avoidance is not acceptable – indeed, most likely not possible. Our job is to make it manageable. This book, Combating Workplace Violence, provides a basic understanding of workplace violence as well as prevention policy and plan development in nontechnical terms. The key to the successful development and implementation of a w+orkplace prevention policy is the collaborative proactive leadership of company executives and management and the assistance of a qualified, reputable consultant. While the information and tools contained here are designed to serve as a baseline for any organization’s solution to workplace violence, the material is useful to inform and educate any member of an organization. The unique framework (V-REEL®) for analyzing the organization’s internal environment to determine what can be done to try to eradicate or reduce workplace violence is especially useful. Ancillaries following each chapter provide additional information and tools to assist your planning. We envision this book being used to inform managers, human resource professionals, workers, and academics in all types of organizations. Hopefully, using the material and framework of this book, more organizations will develop policies, procedures, and practices to prevent workplace violence. ENDORSEMENTS: "This book is a must-read for business leaders and threat assessment professionals. Felix Nater shares his years of experience and expertise on a very difficult and dynamic topic and delivers a comprehensive guide to identify, assess, and mitigate workplace violence hazards. Felix highlights why workplace violence prevention is a shared responsibility across the entire organization and that successful programs are championed from the top down. This book will help any organization create a culture of workplace violence awareness and instill employee confidence in leadership to provide a safe and secure work environment." — Gary Thompson, County of Santa Barbara, California "This book should be required reading for all company executives. Felix’s insights on workplace environment disciplines are integral in demonstrating employee commitment from the top down. Fortunately, I have had experience working with Felix in a yeoman capacity where we learned from each other. Felix articulates employee commitment through well-structured practices. I highly recommend his approach provided in this book. The authors are on target. I’m also proud to have his valued friendship." — Thomas Rosati, U.S. Postal Service, Suffolk County, NY. "This book explores the enterprise approach to preparing and responding to violence in the workplace, in a way few have attempted to tackle. As a co-author, my familiarity with Felix Nater’s depth of knowledge in the subject shines bright through each chapter. This book is a must-read for Physical Security, Human Resources, General Council, all the way to the C-Suite." — William Davis, The Carolinas. "This book captures the realities facing the workforce in a Post Covid-19 world. 'Today,' unlike any previous time in history, the workforce has work options that increase workforce security considerations. It is precisely here that so many of us get stuck. Having a thought process drives the discussion in protecting an organization, beyond the physical security 'gates, guns, and guards' mentality that characterizes most safety and security programs. Felix Nater, and his co-author capture, and document what is needed in creating a sound workplace violence program. You will learn to empower your team with this no-nonsense guide to eliminating excuses and speaking the truth about workplace violence within the workforce workplace environments." — Victor Hayghe, Health Care Industry

Download or read book Development and Implementation of a Violence Risk Assessment Tool written by Mira Aidasani-Diwata and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to provide a means to effectively assess patients as they are admitted to the hospitals and to effectively communicate a patient’s violent tendencies within the healthcare setting. Workplace violence is a serious problem that affects all healthcare professionals. Although serious assaults and homicides attract more media attention, the majority of workplace violence consists of non-fatal assaults. Nurses, aides, and patient care technicians suffer the most non-fatal assaults resulting in injury. Due to the growing incidence of assault and injury among healthcare workers, some states are calling for additional study on workplace violence. Healthcare organizations are mandated to develop violence prevention programs and greater reporting of incidents. Healthcare organizations have workplace prevention programs in place but still fail to protect healthcare workers from injury. Additional measures are needed to cope up with the increasing incidence of workplace violence specifically related to assaults and injuries caused by patients in healthcare settings. Research shows that the use of a violence risk assessment tool has been proven effective in attempts to prevent workplace violence. This paper will examine patient initiated violence in the workplace, explore the use of a workplace violence risk assessment tool to identify patients with propensity for violence in hospitals, and analyze the implication of the use of a violence risk assessment tool to the nursing practice.

Download or read book Workplace Violence Awareness in the Emergency Department at a Regional Hospital written by Bradley James Olsen and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Workplace Violence (WPV) is a problem in healthcare globally, nationally, and locally. Many national and credentialing organizations have recognized WPV as a problem and have suggested many interventions to help mitigate WPV. The three most common interventions are zero-tolerance, de-escalation techniques, and tools to report and predict violence. The tools to report and predict violence lead to interventions to prevent workplace violence. The most evidence-based tool for reporting and predicting workplace violence is the Broset Violence Checklist (BVC). Intermountain Healthcare has utilized a reporting tool called the Disruptive Behavior Report (DBR). In this project, the choice to use the DBR was based on its ease of use and the ability to track its usage. Methods: The objectives of the project are to educate staff on WPV, how to use the DBR to recognize behaviors leading to violence, and to create a safe work environment. The emergency staff at Intermountain Dixie Regional Medical Center were taught about workplace violence and the use of DBR, using a PowerPoint presentation during a mandatory department meeting in March 2019. Results: Discern Analytics 2.0 was used to see how many times the DBR was used the year before the intervention. The DBR was used only twice between 3/1/2018 and 3/1/2019. Following the intervention, the DBR was used eight times between 3/1/2019 and 6/16/2019, a four-fold increase in three and half months. Conclusion: Educating staff on the use of the DBR increased in its use; and therefore, made staff more aware of workplace violence.

Download or read book The Good Mentoring Toolkit for Healthcare written by Helen Bayley and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how nurses will provide a first-point-of-contact consultation service as an alternative to going to see the doctor. It analyses the different nurse practitioner models around the world and presents a proposal for the UK, using research material to describe the impact of this kind of nurse practitioner on patients, doctors and other nurses. The book proposes practical steps through which this model can be implemented within Primary Care Groups, and considers the professional implications for doctors and nurses. Among the conclusions reached in the book are: * nurse practitioners are acceptable to both colleagues and patients * they will have an increasing impact on the nature of the work of doctors * the role of general practitioners may develop to complement the emerging role for nurses. The book is relevant and important reading for everyone who will be affected by these developments, including nurses, doctors, health service managers and policy makers.
