CREATE A SAFER COMMUNITY

Underreporting of workplace violence is a significant problem in healthcare. As high as the reported numbers are, actual incidents of workplace violence are likely much higher. One study reported on by the ASIS Healthcare Security Council suggests that nurses only report 50% of workplace violence incidents, and The Joint Commission reports the number of injuries caused by workplace violence in healthcare could be three times the numbers actually reported.

According to a report by the American Nurses Association, often healthcare workers don’t report incidents because they perceive violence as a normal part of the job, fear retaliation, or believe it won’t change the situation, but it’s essential to cultivate a culture where reporting is encouraged, supported, and required.
