Workplace Violence Against Emergency Medical Services (EMS): A Prospective 12-Month Cohort Study Evaluating Prevalence and Risk Factors Within a Large, Multistate EMS Agency
Verbal and/or physical violence is recognized in nearly 1% of EMS runs. We recommend prioritizing WPV prevention and mitigation strategies around identified risk factors and simplifying the WPV reporting process in order to reduce staff administrative burden and encourage optimal capturing of violent events.
