Abstract

Presented at the 2024 Parkview Nursing Research Symposium.

Background/Problem: Standard data gathering around workplace violence has been a national gap and there is not a national recommendation on how or what data points to collect. Purpose: A process was developed that enabled automated data collection and aggregation which allowed gathering of workplace violence data. The process built moved from a manual time-consuming endeavor to an efficient process that quantified a multitude of key metrics needed for analysis that can be used to drive meaningful mitigation. Methods: A focus study was built within Midas that included most of the elements from a paper form that was initially used to identify how Behavioral Emergency Response Team (BeRT) responded to alerts activated. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary teams were pulled together and modified the elements. A comprehensive list of data points and consensus was received. Those data points were embedded into Midas as an electronic format and allowing the use of a pre-existing platform that end users were already familiar with. A standard report was built based on data points that could be easily exported into excel format. Results: A list of agreed upon data points from key stakeholders drove engagement and utilization of electronic data entry instead of using a paper manual process of writing down information gathered during BeRT alerts. Entering data points into Midas as an electronic platform catapulted the ability to collect, aggregate, and quantify data into meaningful analytics. Conclusion: Pulling teams together to gather a consensus of meaningful data points, leveraging current familiar electronic platforms, and utilizing pre-existing information were used to develop buy-in and develop an efficient process for workplace violence data entry. This allowed the ability to use standard data points for aggregation and analysis.
