Addressing the workplace safety crisis: Top strategies from hospital executives


Left unchecked, healthcare's workplace violence crisis will have profound effects on staff engagement, patient satisfaction and quality outcomes. With workers increasingly facing violent and aggressive events on the job, safety has emerged as a central focus for hospital and health system leaders.
