According to a recent article, hospitals and clinics remain among the most violent workplaces in the United States. Verbal threats or physical assault against doctors, nurses and other healthcare personnel typically come from patients' family or friends, or from patients themselves. Even as violent crime ticks down in large U.S. cities, violence in healthcare settings continues due to long wait times, unmet patient needs and resource shortages. Recently, the American Hospital Association and the FBI released a new resource and webpage on mitigating targeted violence in healthcare settings.
