- Abstract:
- In 2021, the AHA’s Hospitals Against Violence advisory group created the Building a Safe Workplace and Community framework to guide health care leaders in their efforts to address violence. The framework emphasizes educating and protecting the workforce, while also acknowledging that community violence encroaches into the health care setting. Leadership is central to building a safe workplace by providing resources and support for workplace and workforce safety efforts. Data collection, education and senior level accountability are key and support the four framework domains: risk mitigation, trauma support, culture of safety and violence intervention. Boards can contribute to workplace safety by using the framework as a tool to facilitate discussions and advance safety strategies.
