Workplace Violence-Risk Assessment and De-escalation Webinar Q and A

On March 2, 2022, ASPR TRACIE hosted the webinar Strategies for Healthcare Workplace Violence Prevention: Risk Assessment and De-Escalation. During this webinar, presenters highlighted the issue, explained recent changes in The Joint Commission's workplace violence standards, and demonstrated some examples that can be used in real-world situations. Due to the large number of questions received during the question-and-answer session, speakers were not able to respond to all the questions during the webinar. These questions were sent to panelists and their answers are provided in this document.
