workplace-safety

More and more frequently, healthcare settings and healthcare staff are experiencing instances of violence.  The sources of violence may be many: external parties such as robbers or muggers, particularly those seeking drugs; agitated patients; friends and family members of patients; and coworkers in cases of bullying and lateral violence.  It’s important for healthcare workers to understand the potential and to learn ways to prevent violence and de-escalate potentially troublesome situations. This Resource Center discusses both the most common types of violence and offers tools and strategies for prevention.

  • Overview
  • Violence in Specific HealthCare Settings
  • General Prevention Resources
  • Dealing with Potentially Abusive/Violent Patients
  • Co-Workers: Lateral/Horizontal Violence and Bullying
  • Domestic Violence in the Workplace
  • Healthcare Violence in the News
  • PTSD, Recovery, and Grief Resources

patient-and-family-healthcare

Rarely do healthcare workers deal with patients in a vacuum. Family members, friends, and significant others play an important part in the care continuum and the patient’s healing process. Dealing with difficult, demanding, or disruptive family members can pose challenges. But even in cooperative and supportive situations, it can be stressful to have to convey bad, sad, or unwelcome news or to discuss sensitive or touchy topics with the patient’s support network. This Resource Center addresses many common challenges that healthcare workers can face when dealing with a patient’s family members.

  • Dealing with Difficult Patients
  • Family Challenges
  • Tackling Tough Topics: – Communicating Bad or Sad News – Death, Dying & End of Life Issues – Substance Abuse – Domestic Violence – Suicide – Touchy Topics

cultural-competency

A 2004 study by the Institute of Medicine reported that almost half of the country’s adult population is disconnected from the U.S.healthcare system because they are health illiterate.

Problems run the gamut: cultural and language barriers are common issues. Other problems may be associated with limited reading proficiency, age, disability, and other issues that impede communication or understanding.  This Resource Center offers tools, articles, and websites related to common communication and care delivery challenges faced by healthcare workers. Here are some of the topics covered:

  • Cultural Competence
  • Health Literacy
  • Language Barriers
  • Communicating with Patients Who Are Deaf
  • Patients with Disabilities
  • Other Patient Populations

Our Clients

Bank of Greene County

“Bank of Greene County has been using the EAP services of ESI since 2005. We couldn’t be happier. Not only are there services for our employees but also for us, the employer. We have used the Management Academy for our management team training and have used the Administrative Referral program to assist specific employees that we send or refer to the program for assistance in an area that they may be struggling with. Pre-employment screening is also offered at a very reduced price. The EAP has been very well received by our employees – there is the usual assistance with personal matters, family issues including child or elder care, work-related matters handled on a confidential basis and, of course, financial information including debt counseling. This is more than just an EAP. Plus the cost has been kept low and the results are high!! We give them a 5 star rating!!!”
