4 Slide 4 Violence prevention programs help keep employees and clients safe These programs include: Policy statement Educational programs Reporting procedure Process for investigation Action plans Lehigh Valley Health Network is committed to protecting the safety of all staff, patients, and visitors. In an effort to keep all employees and clients safe, LVHN has implemented violence prevention programs. These include: a policy statement about threats, educational programs, a reporting procedure for threats and unacceptable behavior, and a process for investigation and action plans for actual incidents. This training course will provide you with an overview of LVHN s violence prevention strategies.
5 Slide 5 Danger To protect yourself and others: Know the signs Take precautions To protect yourself and others: Know the signs of a potentially violent issue Take precautions In this course, we will discuss both in further detail.
6 Slide 6 Violence can happen in any setting Each of the following could be sources of violence: Visitors or Guests Employees Patients We must be aware that violence can occur in any setting. Often, we can avoid injury by being aware of the signs that come before violence. Visitors or guests, employees, and patients can all be the source of violence.
7 Slide 7 Observing clients or visitors and knowing their past history can sometimes provide a key to those who are most likely to become violent. Click on each of the following tabs to learn which factors may predict possible violent behavior.

10 Slide 8 are used prior to employment at LVHN Background Checks Reduce violence Far less costly than one violent incident In addition to taking precautions when dealing with patients and visitors, it is important to know how to take precautions when dealing with staff members as well. Background checks are used to screen individuals prior to employment at LVHN. Background checks for past violent behavior can be helpful in preventing future violence in the workplace. This process may seem costly, but it is far less costly than the damage from one violent incident.
11 Slide 9 Many times warning signs are overlooked until it is too late. However, recognizing warning signs of potential violence is an effective way to reduce the potential of a violent act occurring. Click on the tabs on the left to learn more about each of these signs.

15 Slide 10 Events that can contribute to confrontations between employees include: Termination Personal conflict Displacement Disciplinary action If a staff member has experienced upsetting circumstances, he or she may be more likely to be involved in confrontation. Some events that may contribute to confrontations between employees include: Termination Personal conflict Displacement Disciplinary action
16 Slide 11 What can you do? Avoid threatening situations Request an escort Report Protection From Abuse Orders to security Maintain restricted access areas Do not be alone with visibly upset patient Notify your supervisor Notify Security Dial (610) for NON-EMERGENCIES (610) for EMERGENCIES ONLY Complete an Incident Report On the job, violent situations can often be avoided if you take some necessary precautions. Avoid threatening situations if possible Request security or a police escort Alert security to Protection from Abuse Orders (PFAs) issued to either patients or employees Question identity of unknown individuals Do not prop open any restricted-access doors or allow any unknown individual entrance to restricted-access areas Do not be alone with a visibly upset patient Notify your supervisor if you have safety concerns Notify Security by dialing (610) for non-emergencies or (610) for an IMMEDIATE security response, emergencies only Complete an Employee Incident Report
17 Slide 12 Dangerous situations are more easily defused through effective communication. Ask questions Listen carefully Explore solutions Provide feedback Let the person talk Dangerous situations with staff, patients, or visitors are more easily avoided or calmed through effective communication. These simple guidelines can help you to communicate effectively to defuse a dangerous situation. First, listen carefully. Make eye contact with the individual, and use appropriate body language to show that you are really tuned-in. Provide clear and specific feedback to what he or she has told you. Allow the person the opportunity to talk about what he or she is upset about. Ask open-ended questions. This will seem less threatening and allow the individual to expand on their feelings. By asking questions, it will show that you are interested in what has been said. Explore situations to help. Brainstorm strategies for resolving the issue.
18 Slide 13 Report every violent incident! Be sure to perform ALL of the following actions: 1 Notify security at (610) Notify your supervisor 3 Complete an Employee Incident Report LVHN Employee Incident Report and the associated policy can be found in the Environment of Care Manual.

23 Slide 15 Code Orange is the emergency code for a patient who is: Exhibiting out of control behavior Poses a threat or harm to themselves and/or others Code orange is most therapeutic when identified early and designed to de-escalate a potentially violent interaction with a patient. Code Orange is the emergency code for a patient who is exhibiting out of control behavior and poses a threat or harm to themselves and/or others. LVHN has staff across all departments, inpatient and outpatient who are trained, certified, and part of the Code Orange response team. The code orange team is skilled at using verbal interventions to de-escalate the situation. Code orange is the most therapeutic when an escalating situation is identified early and the code orange is activated. This gives the team the opportunity to verbally deescalate the situation.
24 Slide 16 If you witness a Code Orange: Dial 555 Explain the details and location Example: Code Orange Muhlenberg Emergency Department Bay #1 Don t wait for the situation to escalate: CALL EARLY As soon as you suspect a potential violent situation and identify any warning signs, Dial 555 The LVHN Code Orange response plan can be found in Emergency Operations and Public Safety Manual If you witness a potential Code Orange situation at the first signs of agitation or suggestion of violence, you should follow the network procedures. Dial 555 Explain the details and location Example: Code Orange Muhlenberg Emergency Department Bay #1 If you are not sure a code orange should be called, Dial 555 and allow the security staff to evaluate the situation and take appropriate action. What you can do to help the response team: Be prepared to provide a hand-off to the team and be ready to assist as needed. Clear area of potentially dangerous equipment and other items. Keep other patients and visitors away from the situation.
25 Slide 17 A situation that requires response from the Security team An individual with a weapon Structural collapse A suspicious package A release of a gas or chemical A code 45 is a serious situation that requires a specific response from the Security team. This situation may include: An individual with a weapon Structural collapse of part of a building Discovery of a suspicious package Release of a chemical or biological agent or release of a gas
26 Slide 18 You will hear Code 45 announced Security officers will respond Leave the area quickly After a Code 45 situation, CODE 45 ALL CLEAR announcement will be made. This will signify to you it is safe to return to that area. The LVHN Code 45 Response Plan can be found in the Emergency Operations and Public Safety Manual It is important for all staff to know how to respond to a Code 45 situation. If a Code 45 occurs in your area: You will hear Code 45 announced Security officers will respond If possible, leave the area as quickly and safely as possible Security officers will be the only personnel authorized to be in the area. Security will call upon outside agencies such as law enforcement, fire departments or EMS, if needed. After a Code 45 situation, CODE 45 ALL CLEAR announcement will be made. This will signify to you it is safe to return to that area.
