The Joint Commission has proposed draft standards for hospital accreditation on preventing workplace violence.  ANA advocacy and expertise have informed development of the draft standards, through the #EndNurseAbuse campaign. According to the Joint Commission, the “standards provide a framework to guide hospitals in developing strong workplace violence prevention systems.” The framework is intended to guide leadership structure, policies and procedures, reporting systems, post-incident strategies, training, and education to decrease workplace violence. Public comments are invited through February 16. For more information and to access the comment portal, visit the Joint Commission website.
