Workplace Violence in Healthcare: A Growing Concern

At this time last year, research from The Joint Commission revealed that hospital staff experience an average of 1.17 aggressive incidents—verbal and/or physical—per 40-hour workweek, with higher risks when patient loads increase.

As we observe Workplace Violence Prevention Month this April, we will spotlight critical statistics like these and explore actionable solutions to create safer environments for healthcare professionals. Workplace violence is preventable, and awareness is the first step.

🚨 Oregon’s Workplace Violence Bill: Enough or Not? 🚨

A new bill in Oregon aims to increase penalties for repeat assaults on workers—including health care professionals. But nurses and doctors are divided. Some say it’s a step forward, while others argue it doesn’t go far enough to protect frontline workers.

Meanwhile, a separate bill would require hospitals to provide more support and track workplace violence data.

👀 What do you think? Should penalties for attacking health care workers be stronger? Or is a different approach needed? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️
