title: Survey: Most ED staff victimized by violence never report incident.
abstract: Staff members who are victims of violence and fail to report the incident may remain traumatized and unable to perform at their normal level of proficiency; some may not even be able to return to the ED. As a manager, there are steps you can take: Have reporting processes available, and regularly update your staff on what they are and how they are to be used. Be a role model for your staff. Take every event seriously, and follow up with the victim to make sure they receive the help they seek. Be sure to include staff-on-staff verbal abuse as part of your violence-reporting policies and procedures.
