We are advocating for legislation that addresses workplace violence in healthcare facilities. Our proposal involves a requirement for these facilities to assess the threat components connected with workplace violence and develop a program to address it. Direct care employees must have input in establishing this program, which must be reevaluated annually. Also, reporting mechanisms must be established to collect information on incidents of workplace violence, and the Division of Public Overall health must be informed of these incidents. At present, hospitals are hesitant to report such incidents, but with penalties and reporting needs in spot, they will be compelled to do so. In addition, victims of workplace assault must be provided time off to address the concern, specially if they decide on to press charges. Legislation is required to enhance penalties for workplace assaults against healthcare workers, as only 32 states at the moment treat such assaults as felonies. In total, 38 states have laws addressing workplace violence against healthcare workers and nurses. Research have shown that implementing measurable and enforceable workplace violence prevention applications leads to enhanced top quality of care, decreased incidents of violence, and greater employees morale. By giving assistance to personnel throughout workplace violence incidents, healthcare facilities can not only attract but also retain their employees far more properly.
