Workplace violence is a pervasive problem in health care settings across Canada. Health care workers have a fourfold higher rate of workplace violence than any other profession. And yet, most of the violence experienced by health care workers goes unreported due to a culture of acceptance. The House of Commons Standing Committee on Health’s report examines the scope and devastating impacts of workplace violence in health care settings. It also looks at its causal factors such as complex patient needs; staffing shortages; aging health care infrastructure; and inadequate security personnel and response systems. The Committee’s report provides nine recommendations that outlines ways the federal government can collaborate with the provinces and territories and health care stakeholders to address this pressing issue.
