Workplace
violence refers to any act or threat of physical violence, harassment,
intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work
site. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Crime
Victimization Survey reveal that workplace
violence is a significant threat to those in the healthcare industry. In
light of recent tragic events involving workplace violence, the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) wants to ensure
that our member practices are prepared. It is critical to educate your staff to
respond to workplace violence incidents.
