Healthcare workplace violence is, most unfortunately, a daily occurrence affecting healthcare provider staff in Arizona and across the nation. The problem became even more widespread and acute during the worst of the COVID pandemic, and as hospitals and clinics are filling up again this winter, it is top of mind for healthcare workers and employers. In this program, the Banner Health Senior Director of Security and a Banner Health attorney will outline the problem and some practical approaches to coping with and reducing workplace violence. The program will include a discussion of legal ramifications, including under EMTALA, employment law, and Arizona’s new healthcare worker assault prevention law. The new state law will require most hospitals, urgent care centers and freestanding emergency facilities to implement a healthcare workplace violence plan starting next year.
Elizabeth Kempshall, Senior Director, Security, Banner Health and Joshua Hodges, Associate General Counsel, Banner Health will be presenting these timely topics. This program will be held in person and lunch will be provided.
