WPV encompasses various forms of violence, such as verbal abuse, assault, harassment, and intimidation, leading to emotional and physical harm for health care workers. The consequences of WPV extend beyond individual workers to impact patient care, workforce stability, and economic cost for health care organizations. Analysis of policy alternatives considers factors such as cost, quality, access, equity, feasibility, resources required, implementation strategies, and long-term sustainability. The SAVE Act emerges as a comprehensive solution with broad support from key contributors despite challenges related to federal legislative processes and financial commitments. State-specific policies in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and New York offer targeted approaches but may face limitations in scope, funding, and enforcement mechanisms compared to federal guidelines. Addressing WPV in health care requires a multifaceted approach involving legislative actions, organizational initiatives, advocacy group collaborations, and resource allocations. The SAVE Act stands out as a promising solution with the potential to improve workplace safety, protect health care workers' rights and enhance patient care outcomes. However, careful planning, resource management, and ongoing evaluations are necessary to ensure effective implementation and sustain impact in reducing WPV across health care settings. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
