Protecting Your ASC: Addressing Workplace Violence Before It Becomes a Risk
This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience.
When workplace violence strikes, it’s too late to start planning. Yet many ASC leaders still view security and emergency preparedness as “someone else’s job.”
This session changes that mindset.
ACHC ASC Program Director — Rommie Johnson — sets the stage with a brief introduction to the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) and why workplace violence is a critical focus for ASCs today.
Richard L. Parker, Associate Director of Life Safety & Physical Environment at ACHC, then takes a deep dive into the risks, strategies, and practical steps ASC leaders must take to keep their staff and patients safe — and survey-ready.
You’ll leave with practical steps to assess risks, build stronger mitigation plans, and prepare staff to respond before a crisis escalates.
Key takeaways:
How to perform a risk assessment that identifies at-risk patients, vulnerable staff, and community threats
Passive and active mitigation strategies that actually work in the ASC setting
Visitor management rules that set expectations and protect your team
Lessons from the Tulsa shooting — what ASCs can learn to prevent tragedy
How to train staff and plan for post-event recovery
