Healthcare providers face a variety of risks in the workplace, with violence being one of the most serious. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare workers are five times more likely to experience violence and assault than any other industry. Nurses and other medical professionals must deal with angry or uncooperative patients, who can sometimes become violent when they don’t get their way. In addition, there are also risks posed by visitors, family members or even staff who may be working under stressful conditions. This kind of violence not only puts medical personnel at risk but also has a negative impact on patient care; for example, nurses may be hesitant to enter certain areas for fear of encountering hostile individuals.

Various professional nursing associations have expressed support for initiatives designed to minimize incidents of workplace violence in healthcare settings. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has issued statements calling for greater security measures such as increased staffing levels and improved safety protocols. The organization has also advocated for hospitals and clinics to provide additional training related to de-escalation techniques and crisis intervention strategies which can help reduce the chances that verbal arguments will lead to physical altercations between staff or patients.

In order to effectively regulate policies related to reducing workplace violence in healthcare facilities, HR 5223 proposes adopting a theoretical model which is based on research conducted by various organizations including The Joint Commission (TJC). This model is known as “The 4 Rs Framework” which stands for Recognize, Respond, Reduce/Restore Relationships & Report: it provides an evidence-based approach that focuses on assessing risk factors associated with violent behavior while aiming to prevent escalation through early detection followed up by appropriate interventions addressing root causes causing disruptive behavior such mental illness substance abuse prior trauma etc..
