About the Resource Center

The health care worker is the most important stakeholder in The Joint Commission’s mission to advance patient safety. We understand that many organizations struggle with addressing complex issues such workplace violence prevention, worker well-being, and worker safety. To help organizations in their efforts to promote workforce safety and well-being, we curated a collection of resources on each of these topic areas. Our goal is to provide health care leaders and staff with accessible tools and strategies to enhance the safety and well-being of their workforce.

How to Use Resource Collections

For each topic area, we identified actionable strategies and tools that organizations can use, regardless of where they are on their journey to address these complex issues.
