Violence in America’s hospitals is an issue that is squarely on the minds of hospital administrators and staff. And the violence seen in our society has increasingly encroached into the medical workplace. This violence can be verbal, it can be physical, it can be disturbing, and it can be deadly. The escalation and prevalence of violence in hospitals has had a major impact on employees, patients, and families.
