Abstract
For facilities that are new to prevention of violence in healthcare - and even for those who are more experienced - it can sometimes be difficult to establish an effective; process that positively impacts their staff and facility. This online Prevention of Violence in Healthcare toolkit is designed to be a resource for any facility that would like to establish a violence prevention program or improve their current program. It contains sample policies and procedures, articles, staff education tools and other documents that facilities can use to educate their staff and their leaders about this process. You are welcome to make use of anything in this toolkit, or to adapt it for your own purposes. Where appropriate, please cite the organization that is the source of the tool. This toolkit will evolve and change over time, as we become aware of new tools and resources that may be helpful.
This resource is found in our Actionable Strategies for Health Organizations: Ensuring Physical & Mental Health (Workplace Violence Prevention).
