Description

Gather your whole staff! In April Emily Moilanen, a Regional Healthcare Preparedness Coordinator, will lead a safety tabletop exercise with three scenarios. After each scenario is introduced, your agency will be placed in a private breakout room to work on the exercise. Then you will come together with a few other agencies in a small group to discuss your procedure and learn from each other.

This will be repeated for each of the following scenarios:

1. Escalation of guns in the home
2. Drugs
3. Assault

The entire exercise will last 90 minutes and will be a valuable resource for your agency with the recent rise in community violence.

Objectives

1. Test home care agency staff ability to recognize potential for escalating workplace violence in the home health setting.
2. Test home care agency staff ability to respond to an incident of escalated workplace violence in the home health setting.
3. Identify gaps in organizational safety training and workplace violence response planning.

Audience

All agency staff are invited and encouraged to attend. Please forward this link to anyone in your agency that might be interested (intake staff, field clinicians, leadership, etc.).
