I have been working on trying to stop healthcare violence since 2009. Many articles speak on how violence is escalating and what should be done about it. Healthcare workers don’t report the incidents for a multiple reasons “the patient didn’t mean to hit me” “It really isn’t that bad” “I will handle it myself no one really cares”
I have written an article that I believe could help at the very beginning of this dilemma. I would call it the health care advocate.
This person would help the victim in every aspect of incident reporting, and work with all the powers to be in the facility the statistics would be more accurate and the victim would be taken care of.
