When nurses don't feel safe, patient care suffers

75–76% of nurses experience workplace violence in the past 12 months*. Assaults on nurses have increased year over year. Traditional security measures are not keeping pace with the scope of the problem.

Nurses who experience violence are significantly more likely to leave their position, taking institutional knowledge and patient relationships with them. According to a recent Texas Hospital study, 23.1% considered leaving the profession.

Without documented evidence and clear accountability systems, healthcare organizations face growing liability from workplace violence incidents.

A fearful, or understaffed care team cannot deliver the same quality of care. Nurse safety is patient safety.
