Managing Clinic Safety: A Policy Approach

What sorts of policies should clinics adopt for preventing violence in the workplace? What are some common misconceptions about when and why patients exhibit violence behaviors? What are appropriate legislative responses to stop increased violence against and to protect health care personnel? This Zoom presentation and audience Q&A explores the ways that healthcare clinics can address the complex problem of workplace violence. We hear from Dr. Jennifer Peltzer-Jones, RN, PsyD, who has been working within the Henry Ford Health system for the past 18 years.
