title: Violence throughout the healthcare continuum.
abstract: In this review of a broad range of reports and studies of workplace violence in healthcare, the authors find that such violence extends through the entire continuum of the industry affecting all health care employees in settings that include Paramedics and EMTs, Emergency Department staff acute care staff, long-term care staff and Home Care staff. Knowing the risks and the data is the first step in developing strategies to prevent and minimize its impact, they conclude.
