Abstract

Violence in the ED remains a challenge for managers, but one expert says you can help prevent many incidents by adopting a policy of zero tolerance. Include threatening gestures among the actions that will not be tolerated. Have a formal, written plan.This step will give your policy more weight with your staff. Implement a risk management system to identify and eliminate areas of weakness.
