Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior that involves physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse by one partner to have power and control over the other. Prenatal care visits provide an opportunity to intervene, as 1/3 of emergency visits by women are due to injuries from domestic violence and pregnancy is a high-risk time.

It outlines that ANPs are experienced nurses who can work autonomously to assess, diagnose, treat and review patients. Some key responsibilities include examining and managing patients with both acute and chronic conditions, identifying patients at risk, educating patients, and ensuring high quality care is provided by the nursing team according to patients' needs. The ANP is also responsible for leadership, training, and clinical governance activities to continually improve patient services.
Drug Diversion by Healthcare Personnel -Prevention Program to Protect Your Pa...Compliance Global Inc
While there are no reliable national estimates of the prevalence of drug diversion activity by U.S. healthcare personnel, diversion occurs in facilities across the US every day. Access to narcotics by clinical personnel represents an underappreciated occupational hazard and patient safety risk. Harm to patients from healthcare personnel who divert opioids may take many forms, including care delivered by an impaired provider, untreated pain, and infection risks stemming from tampering with injectable drugs. This webinar will outline fundamental components of adiversion prevention, detection, and response program. An overview of the scope of the problem will be provided, and safety and quality implications will be demonstrated by actual case studies. Regulatory, statutory and quality standards relating to controlled substance security and diversion will be detailed.
Development and ImplementationThe development process begins wit.docxlynettearnold46882
Development and Implementation
The development process begins with finding and sending trained professionals into the long-term care facilities that have a knowledge of the safety of older adults and the employees. Next, the professionals will educate the employees of the facilities on proper safety measures to use to protect themselves and their patients. After the employees, have completed the education course they will receive a certification and allowed to continue back to work. The safety professionals will go through each patient record and determine their specific needs and course of safety that should be used to prevent further falls and injuries. They will then inform the patients or their power of attorney’s over the new safety precautions that will be put into place. The new equipment that is required will be assessed and an order will be placed, such as new gait belts, lifts, rails, and walkers. After the equipment is ordered new safety tips and posters will be placed throughout the facility to allow patients and their families to read and become informed on the new ideas that are being formed in their loved one’s facilities.
The safety professionals will examine the statistics of an increase or decrease in falls after six months of the program development. They will then begin to survey patients, employees, and family members on the effectiveness of the program and if they would like to see it continue and improve in their facilities. This will determine if they enjoy the new ways that their caretakers are looking after their safety and if they feel more secure in their “homes.” All of the surveys will go the nursing home administrators to determine where to proceed next.
During the implementation process our safety program will use the PRECEDE/PROCEED method. The precede method will help to continue and maintain the measurable objectives for all of the safety projects that begin on the facility. The proceed method will monitor the quality of the program and if the program should continue. During the implementation process it is important that the administrator and program developers look at the program cost and amount and ensure that it is a wise decision to continue or even begin the program in their facilities. The hope of our program is that the employees will continue with the safety program after the safety professionals leave and will try to grow and expand their program and continue to make it their own.

5. The standards require specified types of hospitals, including general acute care hospitals and acute psychiatric
hospitals (but excluding hospitals operated by the State Department of State Hospitals, the State Department of
Developmental Services, or the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation), to adopt a workplace violence
prevention plan as a part of the hospital’s injury and illness prevention plan to protect health care workers and other
facility personnel from aggressive and violent behavior. The bill requires the standards to include the following
requirements for the plan:
Policies that require all health care workers who provide direct care to patients to, at least annually, receive
education, training, and the opportunity to discuss questions and answers with a person knowledgeable about the
workplace violence prevention plan.
Staff training in how to recognize potential for violence and when and how to seek assistance to prevent or respond
to violence.
Employee resources for coping with incidents of violence, including, but not limited to critical incident stress
debriefing and an employee assistance program (debriefing).
Information on how to report violent incidents to law enforcement (documentation).
A system for responding to and investigating violent incidents and situations involving violence or the risk of
violence.
The bill also requires the division, by January 1, 2017, and annually thereafter, to post a report on its website
containing specified information regarding violent incidents in California hospitals.
California SB 1299 was signed into law on September 29, 2014. It requires the
Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board, no later than July 1, 2016, to adopt
standards developed by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health.

assaults over the last decade at approximately 5.1 per
1,000 healthcare workers and 69 per 1,000 in mental
health professionals.

attempted suicide, assault, homicide, or other violent acts.
• Life disrupting behavior, resulting from severe anxiety,
loss of contact with reality, mood disorders such as
depression or mania, or conversion reactions, among
others.
• Life impairing behavior that may result from intoxication
or withdrawal from alcohol or drugs, toxic or
idiosyncratic reactions to medication, or cerebral
dysfunction
11. Managing Psychiatric Crisis

situations in the
Emergency room
General hospital
Psychiatric unit
Community Health

health program also apply to the prevention of
workplace violence:

For many years, health care workers have faced a significant risk of job-related violence. Assaults represent a serious safety and health hazard within the healthcare setting. Violence prevention is a priority for your Healthcare Services this training program is designed for developing staff’s competency in managing assaultive behaviors within the clinical setting; reducing workplace violence as it relates to verbal and physical assaults and increase safety throughout the facility.
The program is designed to provide a foundation that creates a collaborative effort throughout hospital organizations to improve safety in the work environment and a platform for which we can maintain ongoing development, as laws or regulations change. Approaching training in this way establishes a foundation which is flexible enough to adjust quickly to changes and healthcare treatment trends. Although not every incident can be prevented, many can, and the severity of injuries sustained by employees can potentially be minimized. Adopting practical measures such as those outlined here can significantly reduce the serious threat to employee safety.
Extent of the problem Violence against healthcare workers is a recognized, but difficult to quantify, problem in the United States. Many studies have concluded that underreporting, different methodologies, and varied source data (eg, occupation classification and injury severity level) are responsible for the wide range of national estimates of violence against healthcare workers.
Ongoing studies put the number of fatal and non-fatal assaults over the last decade at approximately 5.1 per 1,000 healthcare workers and 69 per 1,000 in mental health professionals. Underreporting may reflect a lack of institutional reporting policies, employee beliefs that reporting will not benefit them or employee fears that employers may deem assaults the result of employee negligence or poor job performance.
