Today, Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center (MAHHC) in Windsor, 佛蒙特州在急诊室入口附近的混凝土挡土墙上展示了一个13英尺高的标志，这是其在温莎和伍德斯托克地区安装的综合内外标志的一部分，详细说明了其对人身攻击的零容忍政策, threatening behavior, weapons, abusive language, sexual harassment or illegal drugs on the premises.
“We will do everything in our power to protect our hospital employees, who are already working long hours, often sacrificing their days, 晚上和周末照顾我们的病人，保持我们社区的健康,” said MAHHC CEO and Chief Medical Officer Joseph L. Perras, MD. “我们看到MAHHC和全国各地医疗机构的暴力事件有所增加, which worsened over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
At Dartmouth Health, 职场暴力是2022年职场伤害的第五大常见原因, with nurses as the most impacted occupational group.
“We address each instance of violence with a global, multi-disciplinary approach,” said Rich Mello, director of security for Dartmouth Health. “Each incident is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. For a patient who receives outpatient services, an act of violence may result in being dismissed from the system, depending on the event. 这也可能导致“行为契约”，或者在图表中注明，未来的约会必须有保障. 对于一个住院病例，我们不能草率地将病人从护理中解雇. 因此，我们可能会采取其他应对措施，例如24小时的安全存在. 对于严重的病人袭击我们的工作人员的事件，我们将寻求起诉.”
十大网赌平台推荐健康中心还为员工提供工作场所暴力预防培训，名为“意识、警惕、避免、防御、逃避”(AVADE)培训. 一个工作场所暴力委员会定期召开会议，审查相关事件, create response strategies and analyze trends.

美国心脏协会还报告说，美国医院和卫生系统的工作场所暴力预防措施从2016年的47%增加到2021年的62%. Similarly, 医院和卫生系统发起了更多社区暴力预防举措, from about 10% to about 13% in the same time period.
医疗环境中的工作场所暴力可能对整个医疗系统产生严重后果. 除了对卫生保健工作者的身心伤害, 工作场所的暴力和恐吓使护士的工作更加困难, doctors and other clinical staff to provide attentive, 当病人担心自己的人身安全时，为他们提供优质的护理, 被捣乱的病人弄得心烦意乱或者之前的暴力行为给他造成了创伤. Violent incidents also take up valuable hospital resources, 降低生产力，并可能延误对其他患者急需的护理.
