Hello ICEP Members,
It’s time to take action on violence in the ED, and ICEP will lead the way with a new legislative initiative. And you can help!
We need personal stories of violence which affected you (or your colleague healthcare workers, including nurses, techs, and all the staff) in the ED. They don’t need to have names (they definitely shouldn’t have patient identifiers), but they should have detail.
Your experiences matter to lawmakers! We need as many real-world data as possible as we push to craft and pass legislation with real, meaningful change to improve our working lives in the ED. Violence to ED staff is not acceptable, ever.
We also invite you to share stories of success of any violence prevention that your institution, group, or fellow hospital have instituted that have helped to positively affect healthcare workers.
Please note that your responses are completely anonymous. Any information shared that could be potentially identifying will be redacted and ensure you are protected.
