The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has identified healthcare workers as being among the highest risk groups for workplace violence, but most of the attention up to this point has been on hospitals. Freestanding site healthcare workers also have this risk, and it may be somewhat elevated because police or security officers are not routinely assigned to these locations. A lack of public perception of security issues compared to hospitals may also be a factor.
Healthcare organizations often overlook the security needs of freestanding clinics and offices. In this webinar, Alan Lynch, Network Director of Safety & Security for St. Luke's University Health Network, headquartered in Bethlehem, Pa., offers best practices to help you address the security risks in ambulatory care centers and physician offices.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain violence mitigation strategies and protective measures in freestanding facilities.
- Develop a meaningful ambulatory care site violence prevention education plan.
- Identify patient care services that have elevated violence risks.
- Mitigate home health visit risks.
