Washington, DC US

Handling difficult patient situations in a manner that minimizes the potential for disruptions in patient care and/or workplace violence is crucial for maintaining the health center’s culture of safety. The curriculum for this one-day intensive training is designed to provide technical assistance for the development of an effective organizational approach to managing difficult patient situations and will cover:

  • Regulatory requirements for health centers;
  • Identification of risk factors;
  • De-escalation techniques;
  • Creating response teams;
  • Staff training and conducting drills;
  • Post-incident documentation and recovery; and
  • Procedures for patient dismissal.
