Workplace Violence Facts

 70% of all workplace violence incidents do not get
  reported.
 2637 nonfatal assaults on hospital workers (1999)
  (8.3 assaults per 10,000 workers)
• Government employees have a higher rate of
  violence than private sector employees
• Women are over 8 times more likely to be
  victims of Workplace Violence than men


National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health : Violence: Occupational Hazards in Hospitals
The highest frequency of violent attacks

emergency   department
psychiatric ward
waiting rooms
geriatric units.
Violent in ED

   A 1988, 127 U.S. teaching hospitals ( > 40,000 visits/yr)

           •    32% reported at least one verbal threat daily
           •    18% reported at least one threat with a weapon daily
           •    25% reported restraining at least one patient daily
           •    7% had experienced a violent death in the ED.
           •    80% had a staff member injured by violence.

ER : Potential Hazard
Are your ED at risk?

• emergency department > 50,000 per year
• and an average waiting time>2 hours
• were significantly associated with increased
  incidence of violence.
Resident Life

 1994 , 461 emergency medicine residents
     62% were concerned about their personal
      safety while working in the emergency
      department
     50% thought that security measures in their
      hospitals were inadequate.
 1999, survey of psychiatry residents
     36% had been physically assaulted in
      residency.
Workplace Violence
Well, we work in the high risk area of violent.
   How should we prepare for the situation…..???
Workplace Violence
Ummm…………

 However, only 40% of hospitals surveyed
  provided formal nursing education on violent.

 The survey found that 24- hour security was in
  place at only 23% of emergency departments.
Security in Emergency Department
PREPARING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
             TO PREVENT VIOLENCE


 Only 21.4% control access to the emergency
  department during high-risk hours
War or ED ?

 Weapons carriage in ED : 4% to 8%
 5.4 weapons a day using a metal detector.
 26.7% of major trauma patients were armed with
  lethal weapons.

Should assume :




 all violent patients are armed (until proved)
especially those presenting with major trauma.

 Preservation of Evidence and Documentation
 Reporting
 Duty to warn Third Parties

PREPARING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
TO PREVENT VIOLENCE
Workplace Violence
PREPARING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
          TO PREVENT VIOLENCE


 Security Personnel
 Patient Searches (Early recognition)
 Alarm Systems (Direct to local police)
 Limited Access to the Emergency Department
 Controlling flow into the emergency department
 Use of a Designated Room
 Prevention
Prevention

              • To control the factors in the
 Primary        environment that encourage the
                development of frustration and
Prevention      aggression.

Secondary    • involves response to pre-violent
               agitation and aggression.
Prevention

 Tertiary    • To limitation of the actual act of
               violence itself once it has occurred
Prevention
Prevention : Primary prevention

 To control the factors in the environment that
  encourage the development of frustration and
  aggression.

 Attempts to shorten waiting times .
 Pleasant waiting room environment.
 The presence of surveillance cameras and a visible
  security force also act as deterrents (although their
  implementation is a form of tertiary prevention).
Secondary prevention

 involves response to pre-violent agitation and
  aggression.

• Early recognition of high-risk patients
• Managing Aggression
• Communication
• Non-verbal communication
• Defusion strategies
• De-escalation techniques and skills
De-escalation Technique

1.   Simple Listening
2.   Active Listening
3.   Acknowledgement
4.   Allow Silence
5.   Agreeing
6.   Apologizing
7.   Inviting Criticism
8.   Develop a Plan

     WHEN NOTHING WORKS : Explain what will happen next if
     the angry person does not follow the instruction you offer.
• Give clear, brief, assertive instructions
• Explain your purpose or intention
• Negotiate options
• Avoid threats
• Move towards a “safer place” (i.e. avoid being trapped in a
  corner)
• Ensure your non-verbal communication is non-threatening
• Allow greater body space than normal
• Appear calm, self controlled, and confident without being
  dismissive or over-bearing
•   De-escalation is a very difficult and humbling skill.
•   You cannot be unsure of your own pride or self-esteem.
•   You must be able to control your own anger.
•   You must be able to see the bigger picture.
•   You must be willing to practice what you’ve learned.
NEVER THREATEN
unless you are prepared to take the next step !



Once you have made a threat, or given an ultimatum,
you have ceased all Negotiations and put yourself in
a potential win-lose situation.
Tertiary prevention

 To limitation of the actual act of violence itself once
  it has occurred.

 Physical and chemical restraints are used, and
  security and police intervention are often needed.
 Emergency department protocols.
 Security measures.
Restrain and Seclusion
     The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO)


1.    The implementation of restraint or seclusion is limited to
      emergencies where imminent risk of harm exists to
      patient or others.
2.    Staff is trained and competent to apply restraint safely.
3.    Staff is trained to minimize the use of restraint.
4.    Patients in restraints are regularly evaluated and
      monitored.
5.    Orders for restraint use are provided by licensed
      practitioners and are time limited.
6.    Medical records document that the use of restraint or
      seclusion is consistent with organizational policy.
American College of Emergency Physicians. Emergency physicians’ patient care
       responsibilities outside of the emergency department [policy statement];
                      Approved September 1999. Ann Emerg Med 2000;35:209
The violent patient suffered as well !

 13% of hospitals reporting injuring patients

  while restraining them, including one
  strangulation death.
 Litigation was pending in 16% of surveyed

  emergency departments because of restraint
  of patients.
Prevention Strategies that Work

• Metal Detectors installed in a Detroit Hospital
  prevented the entry of 33 handguns, 1,324 knives,
  and 97 macetype sprays in 6 months

• A system of restricting movement of visitors in a
  NYC hospital using identification badges and passes
  limiting visitors reduced violent crime by
  65% in 18 months
KEY CONCEPTS

 Emergency department staff should be trained to
  recognize the early signs of impending violent behavior
  and to implement appropriate de escalating techniques.

 Every emergency department should have a formal plan of
  action to deal with violent patients.

 Violent patients should be evaluated for possible medical
  and psychiatric conditions


  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Workplace Violence

  • 2. General Consideration about Safety in Emergency Department Montinee Sangtian, MD Emergency Physician Rajavithi Hospital
  • 3. Common safety and health topics: Emergency Department (ED) Module http://www.osha.gov
  • 4. Workplace Violence Facts  70% of all workplace violence incidents do not get reported.  2637 nonfatal assaults on hospital workers (1999) (8.3 assaults per 10,000 workers) • Government employees have a higher rate of violence than private sector employees • Women are over 8 times more likely to be victims of Workplace Violence than men National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health : Violence: Occupational Hazards in Hospitals
  • 5. The highest frequency of violent attacks emergency department psychiatric ward waiting rooms geriatric units.
  • 6. Violent in ED  A 1988, 127 U.S. teaching hospitals ( > 40,000 visits/yr) • 32% reported at least one verbal threat daily • 18% reported at least one threat with a weapon daily • 25% reported restraining at least one patient daily • 7% had experienced a violent death in the ED. • 80% had a staff member injured by violence. Lavoie FW, Carter GL, Danzl DF, Berg RL: Emergency department violence in United States teaching hospital. Ann Emerg Med1988;17:1227
  • 7. ER : Potential Hazard
  • 8. Are your ED at risk? • emergency department > 50,000 per year • and an average waiting time>2 hours • were significantly associated with increased incidence of violence.
  • 9. Resident Life  1994 , 461 emergency medicine residents  62% were concerned about their personal safety while working in the emergency department  50% thought that security measures in their hospitals were inadequate.  1999, survey of psychiatry residents  36% had been physically assaulted in residency.
  • 11. Well, we work in the high risk area of violent. How should we prepare for the situation…..???
  • 13. Ummm…………  However, only 40% of hospitals surveyed provided formal nursing education on violent.  The survey found that 24- hour security was in place at only 23% of emergency departments.
  • 14. Security in Emergency Department
  • 15. PREPARING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO PREVENT VIOLENCE  Only 21.4% control access to the emergency department during high-risk hours
  • 16. War or ED ?  Weapons carriage in ED : 4% to 8%  5.4 weapons a day using a metal detector.  26.7% of major trauma patients were armed with lethal weapons. Ordog GJ: Weapons carriage among major trauma victims in the emergency department. Acad Emerg Med1995;2:109
  • 17. Should assume : all violent patients are armed (until proved) especially those presenting with major trauma. Ordog GJ: Weapons carriage among major trauma victims in the emergency department. Acad Emerg Med1995;2:109
  • 18. What is EP’s role in violent? Emergency physician should…  control the patient and the situation  diagnose and treat reversible causes of violence  protect the patient and staff from harm  Scene Safety  Preservation of Evidence and Documentation  Reporting  Duty to warn Third Parties
  • 19. ECombative patients : Organic or Functional ?
  • 21. Predictors of Violence Patients Positive Predictor Not Reliable  Male  Ethnicity  Prior history of  Diagnosis violence.  Age  Drug or Alcohol abuse  Marital status  Education
  • 22. PREPARING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO PREVENT VIOLENCE
  • 24. PREPARING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO PREVENT VIOLENCE  Security Personnel  Patient Searches (Early recognition)  Alarm Systems (Direct to local police)  Limited Access to the Emergency Department  Controlling flow into the emergency department  Use of a Designated Room  Prevention
  • 25. Prevention • To control the factors in the Primary environment that encourage the development of frustration and Prevention aggression. Secondary • involves response to pre-violent agitation and aggression. Prevention Tertiary • To limitation of the actual act of violence itself once it has occurred Prevention
  • 26. Prevention : Primary prevention  To control the factors in the environment that encourage the development of frustration and aggression.  Attempts to shorten waiting times .  Pleasant waiting room environment.  The presence of surveillance cameras and a visible security force also act as deterrents (although their implementation is a form of tertiary prevention).
  • 27. Secondary prevention  involves response to pre-violent agitation and aggression. • Early recognition of high-risk patients • Managing Aggression • Communication • Non-verbal communication • Defusion strategies • De-escalation techniques and skills
  • 28. De-escalation Technique 1. Simple Listening 2. Active Listening 3. Acknowledgement 4. Allow Silence 5. Agreeing 6. Apologizing 7. Inviting Criticism 8. Develop a Plan WHEN NOTHING WORKS : Explain what will happen next if the angry person does not follow the instruction you offer.
  • 29. • Give clear, brief, assertive instructions • Explain your purpose or intention • Negotiate options • Avoid threats • Move towards a “safer place” (i.e. avoid being trapped in a corner) • Ensure your non-verbal communication is non-threatening • Allow greater body space than normal • Appear calm, self controlled, and confident without being dismissive or over-bearing
  • 30. De-escalation is a very difficult and humbling skill. • You cannot be unsure of your own pride or self-esteem. • You must be able to control your own anger. • You must be able to see the bigger picture. • You must be willing to practice what you’ve learned.
  • 31. NEVER THREATEN unless you are prepared to take the next step ! Once you have made a threat, or given an ultimatum, you have ceased all Negotiations and put yourself in a potential win-lose situation.
  • 32. Tertiary prevention  To limitation of the actual act of violence itself once it has occurred.  Physical and chemical restraints are used, and security and police intervention are often needed.  Emergency department protocols.  Security measures.
  • 33. Restrain and Seclusion The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) 1. The implementation of restraint or seclusion is limited to emergencies where imminent risk of harm exists to patient or others. 2. Staff is trained and competent to apply restraint safely. 3. Staff is trained to minimize the use of restraint. 4. Patients in restraints are regularly evaluated and monitored. 5. Orders for restraint use are provided by licensed practitioners and are time limited. 6. Medical records document that the use of restraint or seclusion is consistent with organizational policy.
  • 34. American College of Emergency Physicians. Emergency physicians’ patient care responsibilities outside of the emergency department [policy statement]; Approved September 1999. Ann Emerg Med 2000;35:209
  • 35. The violent patient suffered as well !  13% of hospitals reporting injuring patients while restraining them, including one strangulation death.  Litigation was pending in 16% of surveyed emergency departments because of restraint of patients.
  • 36. Prevention Strategies that Work • Metal Detectors installed in a Detroit Hospital prevented the entry of 33 handguns, 1,324 knives, and 97 macetype sprays in 6 months • A system of restricting movement of visitors in a NYC hospital using identification badges and passes limiting visitors reduced violent crime by 65% in 18 months
  • 37. KEY CONCEPTS  Emergency department staff should be trained to recognize the early signs of impending violent behavior and to implement appropriate de escalating techniques.  Every emergency department should have a formal plan of action to deal with violent patients.  Violent patients should be evaluated for possible medical and psychiatric conditions An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
