“Workplace safety is inextricably linked to patient safety. Unless caregivers are given the protection, respect, and support they need, they are more likely to make errors, fail to follow safe practices, and not work well in teams.”
Lucian Leape Institute
Workplace violence — a growing problem in California hospitals — jeopardizes both workforce wellness and the quality of care. HQI is committed to helping hospitals protect their employees and ensure a safe environment for all.
Community of Practice (CoP) on Eliminating Hospital Workplace Violence
The purpose of the Community of Practice is to connect individuals working on the issue of workplace violence in hospitals through a collaborative network designed for peer-to-peer learning and exchange. The CoP consists of 3 program components:
1) VIRTUAL FORUMS
12/12 Virtual Forum (panel of rural and critical access hospitals)
This section contains select publicly-available resources on prevention/management of workplace violence in hospitals, as well as materials developed and shared by organizations participating in the Community of Practice.
