Did you dig deeper into the reason for being in the ER/Hospital for patients attacking staff?
Are they Elderly, are they Young, do they suffer from an addiction, a neurodegenerative disease (i.e. Dementia/Alzheimers) do they have Mental Illness?
Until you have the data on who/why/other - you can't truly solve the issue.
There is a different solution (potentially) for ALL (small subset of examples....)
Have the Hospitals done that do you know?
WHY ask?
My mother suffered from neurodegenerative disease aka dementia/alzheimers disease for 6 years - she was in Memory Care, but often got 'kicked out' and taken to the ER due to violence/paranoia from the disease (she was 90 pounds). I remember one time, at 11pm, Novant had to have a female security guard gently hold her until they could sedate her....thankfully I was there and alerted staff to what Moms problem was so they knew how to be safe....but most do NOT have a loved one to care for them.
WE ALL NEED to get to the true ROOT CAUSES, develop (and FUND) solutions/specific protection protocols for each use case....
WOULD LOVE TO SEE more reported on this - deep dives into it....expose/series etc. etc.
Thank you for this article.
My questions....
