Violent Patient Management

Healthcare Worker Safety is paramount to a successful healthcare environment. In today’s healthcare landscape, facilities and services are increasingly confronted with unpredictable violence directed towards their staff. This alarming trend not only jeopardizes the safety of healthcare professionals but also impacts patient care and overall facility efficiency. Therefore, integrating a comprehensive Violent Patient Management program into your training regimen is essential to bolster the safety and security of both patients and staff.

The Violent Patient Management System is meticulously designed to address instances of patient violence using medically approved techniques. These methods are tailored for effectiveness in high-stress situations. These techniques are rooted in extensive medical research and meet the control needs of staff. Additionally, they minimize liability concerns for administrators. Originally conceptualized over twenty years ago for the criminal justice community, these methods have undergone significant evolution. They now ensure they cater specifically to healthcare environments.

Our approach enables staff personnel—such as doctors, nurses, EMTs, and other emergency service workers—to effectively manage violent incidents. This is achieved through proven strategies that prioritize de-escalation first before resorting to physical intervention. The methodologies taught within this system have undergone scrutiny from four different medical studies (available upon request). These studies ensure they deliver safe outcomes for everyone involved.

Importance of Workplace Violence Prevention

Establishing a robust Workplace Violence Prevention Program should be a priority within every healthcare setting. Such programs serve as proactive measures that can significantly reduce incidents of violence. They do so by fostering an environment where employees feel secure and supported in their roles.
