Regulatory Compliance Fades - Culture Sticks:
Building a Sustainable Workplace Violence Prevention Program
Regulatory expectations around workplace violence from CMS, the Joint Commission, and OSHA are tightening.
Organizations that are still treating compliance as a line item are already behind. This resource walks healthcare leaders through what each body currently requires, where the most common gaps exist, and how to build a program that satisfies the standard while actually moving the needle on safety culture. Compliance is the floor, not the finish line.
Joining us is featured guest speaker Dr. Dustin Bass has spent more than fifteen years running clinical operations inside academic medical centers, community hospitals, and emergency services — the same departments where a workplace violence program either holds up under pressure or doesn't.
Dr. Bass represents more than fifty thousand emergency nurses under a governing philosophy he calls "The Power of Us": a program only works when the organization owns it together, not just the department that wrote the policy.
That's the case this webinar makes.
Requirements from the CMS -Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Joint Commission, and OSHA - the Occupational Safety and Health Administration around workplace violence are tightening, and a program built only to pass survey does the minimum the standard asks and nothing more.
Dr. Bass and Casey Goldschmidt walk through what each regulatory body currently requires, where the most common gaps show up between the three, and how to build something that satisfies the standard while creating the kind of culture that holds up when the standard changes again.
