The Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council (DFWHC) will host a special educational event on workplace violence, March 13 at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. The complimentary breakfast session is from 8:00-10:00 a.m. and parking is free. Titled “Challenging Patients…Challenging our Patience,” the special session will include guest speakers Kelly Naumann, vice president of business development at Entrust One Facility Services, Inc.; and Mike Owens, program manager Watch House International and The S.A.F.E. Approach.

With recent numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics stating that 60 percent of all private industry assaults occur in healthcare, with 75 percent of those assaults committed by patients, the session will focus on effective methods in avoiding and minimizing conflict in healthcare settings and how to recognize the potential at its earliest stages.
