Again I am writing " Implementing lasting deterrents to Healthcare violence" There is a total of 17 deterrents to this.
There are a few that could cost the hospital a few dollars but not much.
Working with an emergency physician that knows what truly happens in the emergency room and will cover our backs as nurses, medical assistants, x-ray techs etc. is great,
Thank You DR. Charles Anderson for your help.

# 11 No Healthcare worker may be penalized for coming to the aid of another healthcare worker who           is being assaulted or abused.This would require a level of immunity.

# 12 Any healthcare worker who fears for the safety of another healthcare worker, a patient or a                  visitor may dial 911 at any time without fear of being disciplined by the hospital they work in.

 # 13 Any person that is deemed to be drug seeking by a physician may not be a candidate for a                   patient satisfaction survey,nor can a physician's decision not to prescribe                                               sedatives,tranquilizers.antibiotics or tests be used against him/her by hospitals.
         Physicians are  being forced to please drug seekers in the name of pleasing customers. A                     disproportionate number of violent people are under the influence of drugs or are drug seeking.
         High Press -Ganey scores mean that ED Physicians have given up doing the right thing. They             are ordering tests ,giving antibiotics ,and giving narcotics to get high scores.

# 14  An emergency physician may request the application of four point restraints by security of any            belligerent patient without the fear of retribution by administration. There would be guidelines.

#  15 The emergency physician may request that security personnel remain at the bedside of any                    patient the physician deems to be a threat.

# 16  All in-patient hospital and ED treatment area must wear identification badges.

# 17  An Emergency physician may request that security remove any relative,friend or visitor from               the premises of the hospital should the physician deem this person to be a threat of violence.
