 The Henry Ford + MSU Workplace Violence Webinar Series aims to empower healthcare professionals and workplace leaders with essential knowledge and skills to effectively address and prevent workplace violence. The webinar series will delve into critical topics, including the delicate balance between patient welfare and workplace safety, practical crisis intervention techniques, the mental health impacts of workplace violence, and an overview of rights and institutional policies related to violence in the workplace.

Featuring guest speakers Trevor Gardner J.D., Ph.D. and Ji Seon Song, J.D., this first part of the webinar series will focus on balancing patient welfare and workplace safety. The webinar series will be moderated by Bob Cermak, Ph.D., Jayna Gardner-Gray, M.D., and Jackeline Iseler, DNP.

“Balancing Patient Welfare and Workplace Safety” Objectives:

  1. Participants will have a better sense of the challenges faced by at-risk communities and how these challenges might inform provider responses to patient violence. This includes at-risk communities and medicine, and at-risk communities and the criminalization of poverty. 
  2. Participants will learn the criminal process as it relates to patient violence in the healthcare setting. They will learn the criminal rights of the patient, potential criminal liabilities for the patient, the costs and benefits of police assistance, and implications for medical ethics, patient privacy, and healthcare regulations.   
  3. Participants will receive proposals for making the health care setting safer for patients and providers. This includes balancing patient privacy interests, provider ethics, and workplace safety interests; police engagement, and behavioral response teams (pre-police).  

This virtual event is free, registration is required to participate. For any general questions, please email henryfordmsu@msu.edu.
