The Implementation and Utilization of Threat Assessment Teams

Healthcare settings are becoming less immune to threats within the workplace setting. Last session, Dr. Kostas discusses the difference between a “risk” and a “threat” and associated behavior or lack thereof.  Once we have identified a threat, who should we be working with internally and externally? What will this group do and how?

This workshop will review  risk versus threat and then focus on “next steps.” What as an organization can we do in developing a Threat Assessment Team.

This workshop is open to all coalition members with emphasis on healthcare settings.

Workshop Objectives:

1. Review differences between risk and threat
2. Discuss what constitutes a Threat Assessment Team
3. Identify and operationalize how to develop a Threat Assessment Team
4. Identify practice tools for threat management and intervention for healthcare workplace settings.
