Workplace violence in ambulatory care settings has become increasingly prevalent. Chronic and complex health conditions are treated more frequently in outpatient settings, increasing the likelihood that patients and families may become frustrated. Many healthcare workers are not trained to safely respond to these behaviors and security resources might not be available, creating a vulnerable environment for healthcare workers. In this one-hour complimentary webinar hosted by the California Medical Association and sponsored by The Doctors Company, attendees will learn strategies for developing a formal workplace violence prevention plan, in accordance with California Senate Bill 553 (2023).
