What’s happening: Individuals leading and supporting hospital efforts to eliminate workplace violence are invited to a virtual forum on the topic held by the Hospital Quality Institute (HQI) on Oct. 24 from noon to 1 p.m. (PT). Registration is open.
What else to know: Featured speaker Rachel Odes, PhD, RN, who also is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Nursing, will discuss what statewide data — from the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health and the California Division of Workers’ Compensation — reveal about workplace violence toward hospital workers.
The monthly virtual forums are a part of HQI’s Community of Practice on Eliminating Hospital Workplace Violence, the purpose of which is to connect individuals working on this issue with a collaborative network designed for peer-to-peer learning and exchange. Participation is free and open to all CHA and HQI member hospitals.
Slides and recordings from previous virtual forums are available on the program website.
Contact Boris Kalanj, HQI’s director of programs, with any questions at bkalanj@hqinstitute.org.
