Healthcare Violence Risk Management Framework
Prevent and mitigate violence.
Leverage proven evidence-based strategies and tactics.
Restore peace of mind.
The HVRM-F is built to disrupt healthcare violence.
Healthcare violence is a persistent threat to every healthcare organization.
Healthcare violence is increasing across the globe with no relief in sight. In the US, the violence has pushed numerous states to pass laws to help protect healthcare workers with limited success.
But laws, training, and policies aren't enough to make a true impact on violence in healthcare. Violence can stem from patient interactions, an angry employee, external threats, and more. The persistent threat of violence demands a coordinated, structured approach that's absent from many violence prevention and mitigation programs.
No one has put such a comprehensive structure together - until now.
What is the Healthcare Violence Risk Management Framework?
HVRM-F is a comprehensive approach to preventing and mitigating violence in all its forms. It leverages over 25 years of real-world healthcare expertise, a rock-solid foundation, strategy, and evidence-based tactics to stem the tide of violence in your organization.
HVRM-F
Key Elements
01
CORE Commitments
At the heart of the framework are the core commitments. These are non-negotiable elements that must be in place for everything to operate at maximum effectiveness.
03
Strategy
The strategy is a customized, phased roadmap for the organization to guide framework implementation and build accountability.
05
Assess + Adapt
An initial violence risk assessment informs the customized buildout of the framework. Ongoing assessment ensures that the model adapts to emerging risks and challenges.
02
Foundation
A rock-solid framework foundation is established to ensure program resiliency, foster collaboration, and provide stability for other elements.
04
HVRM Ops
HVRM Ops (Operations) consists of proven and evidence-based tactics and performance measures mapped to your organization's risks.
06
Momentum + Prioritization
Momentum is built into the framework to ensure efficient implementation. Priorities are clear from the start and get the consistent support they need.
How it Works
HVRM-F is designed to work with your existing violence prevention and mitigation program.
The framework is built to "bolt on" to your current program to add structure, strength, and to enhance effectiveness. There's no need to rip and replace your current efforts, such as your existing de-escalation training program.
HVRM-F can also be implemented as a replacement to your current violence prevention and mitigation program at your organization.
