Workplace violence remains a persistent and growing challenge in healthcare settings, affecting staff safety, morale, and patient care. This panel discussion brings together healthcare leaders and safety professionals from various organizations to share the real-world strategies they have implemented to address workplace violence — what has worked, what hasn’t, and why.

Panelists will discuss the development, execution, and evaluation of their workplace violence prevention programs, offering candid insights into both successes and setbacks. From policy changes and staff training to environmental design and reporting systems, this session will explore practical solutions and common barriers.

Join us to gain valuable lessons, actionable ideas, and a deeper understanding of how healthcare organizations can build safer, more resilient workplaces.

• Identify common strategies and program elements used to prevent and respond to workplace violence in healthcare settings
• Evaluate the effectiveness of different workplace violence prevention approaches based on real-world experiences and outcomes shared by panelists.
• Apply lessons learned to improve or implement workplace violence prevention programs within participants’ own organizations.
