Keeping Healthcare Workers Safe Through Policy Initiatives

Livanos, N. (2023). Keeping Healthcare Workers Safe Through Policy Initiatives. Journal of Nursing Regulation. 13(4):81-83.
The authors describe the issue of workplace violence in healthcare and different states’ policy approaches to making hospital staff safer. Reducing the risk of workplace violence can help with worker retention, which in turn can help reduce healthcare staffing shortages. Potential policies range from mandating signs which remind visitors that violence towards staff is not tolerated, stricter penalties for assailants, screening for weapons, and violence prevention plans implemented by hospitals.
