Form Or Join A Committee
Published
One of the best ways to prevent and address nurse abuse is to have a task force committee responsible for doing so. This diverse group should include employees at all levels — nurses, leadership, and other health care professionals.
The job of this task force is to examine issues surrounding a violent event and answer the following questions:
- What were the contributing factors?
- Was it an external or internal issue?
- What triggered the event?
- What can we do to improve the situation moving forward or prevent it from happening again?
From there, the task force develops recommendations that all units can follow. If your organization does not have a task force or safety committee in place, consider taking steps to start one right away.
