Episode 28: Mitigating Workplace Violence in Hospitals and Health Systems

In this episode, guest host Laura Castellanos, Associate Director of Hospitals Against Violence for the AHA, is joined by Dr. Ronald Paulus, Strategic Advisor for Commure Strongline and former President and CEO of Mission Health, as well as former Chief Administrative Officer and CIO for Geisinger Health System. Together, they discuss the unfortunate growth of workplace violence in health care, including its financial, organizational and clinical consequences. Mitigating violence and investing in workplace safety initiatives can have an exponential impact on caregivers, patients and healthcare organizations.

Commure

Commure Healthcare has an incredible opportunity to usher in a new era of meaningful change and scalable transformation. Yet we’re facing an innovation paradox: The more solutions that enter our industry looking to fix it, the more fragmented we become, unintentionally compromising connected innovation for a sea of silver-bullet solutions. Care shouldn’t come with compromise. That’s why Commure is rearchitecting healthcare from the inside out. Our intelligent operating system and original applications connect, protect, and empower the people of healthcare in the moments that matter most. Together, we are building a vibrant health ecosystem rooted in collaborative care and connected innovation.
