Implementing a Staff Safety Intervention Bundle to Reduce Patient-initiated Workplace Violence.

Abstract

The implementation of a Staff Safety Intervention Bundle reduced patient-initiated violence at a large academic health system. This bundle integrated Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression screening into electronic health record workflows, leveraged adaptive learning technology for scalable staff education, and implemented visual risk indicators (door magnets) for team awareness. Sustainability strategies and lessons learned provide a replicable framework for nurse executives to address workplace violence through interdisciplinary partnerships within an organizational safety infrastructure.
