Thursday, April 18th, 2024 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Workplace violence is one of the most complex and dangerous occupational hazards facing healthcare workers today. Any employee who fears going to work is more likely to leave that employer, and hospitals that don't take action now to curb violence against healthcare workers will face even greater challenges with ED recruiting, staffing and operations. 

One avenue to keep staff safer is real-time data, notifying staff of risk factors and enabling them to take appropriate precautions. In this live webinar, Brian Patel, MD, chief medical officer at Sturdy Health in Massachusetts, shares steps his system is taking to curb, control and improve instances of workplace violence and keep staff safe at the bedside.
