Member: $39.00
ASHRM CE Credit: 1
This webinar reviews the components of a hospital workplace violence program and the new Joint Commission standards in the backdrop of the upward trend of health care-based incidents of workplace violence. It explains what is working and what are the common shortcomings in hospital workplace violence programs so that risk professionals can focus hospital resources on where they may be most effective and cost efficient.
It is no secret to hospital risk professionals that the workplace violence rates are disproportionately higher in health care than all other fields. The number of incidents in hospitals continue to rise post-pandemic. In January 2022, the Joint Commission published new compliance requirements for hospital-based workplace violence programs, and many States are enacting legislation to lessen the impact to hospitals and health care facilities.
The presenter is William S. Marcisz, JD, CPP, CHPA, a national health care security and workplace violence consultant. Marcisz has 40 years of health care experience working in several roles, including security administration, investigations, and threat assessments. Bill also practiced law as a hospital defense attorney in Florida, where he is a longstanding member of the Florida Bar Association.
