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 tailored for effectiveness in high-stress situations. These techniques are not only rooted in extensive medical research but also meet the control needs of staff while minimizing liability concerns for administrators. Originally conceptualized over twenty years ago for the criminal justice community, these methods have evolved to 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 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), ensuring they deliver safe outcomes for everyone involved.
