Workplace violence is a persistent problem, including in health care. The American Academy of Nursing recently issued a report entitled, Protecting Our Caregivers: Comprehensive Strategies for Eliminating Workplace Violence.” On May 29, 2024, Diana Mason, PhD, RN, FAAN, host of HealthCetera in the Catskills, talked with Scott Hutton, PhD, RN, MBA, FAAN, about this report. Dr. Hutton is Director of Operations, Workplace Violence Prevention Program in Veterans Health Administration’s Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, where he leads a cutting edge program on violence prevention. He spoke at the meeting with the Academy expert panels that developed the report on workplace violence for the Academy. They talk about the extent of workplace violence in health care, assessing risk for violence, and how to mitigate it.
