In San Francisco General Hospital's emergency room, violent assaults on nurses are not unusual, according to an article on the Security Infowatch website.
After receiving numerous complaints from hospital staff, Cal/OSHA, the state agency that oversees workplace safety, and the California Department of Public Health opened separate investigations into conditions at the hospital late last year.
The hospital has created a workplace violence committee that focuses on preventive strategies and de-escalation.
One nurse who has been on the emergency room’s violence prevention committee since it was formed in November said nothing new has been implemented since then.
