UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM Active Shooter Run – is to immediately evacuate the area Hide – seek a secure place where you can hide and/or deny the shooter access Defend – where your life or the lives of others are at risk, you may make the personal decision to try to attack and incapacitate the shooter to survive UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM Active Shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT wh60AWhwk UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM BERT Individual Staff Readiness − Utilizing E Mgt approach with behavioral emergencies • Preparedness/Prevention • Response • Recovery Response Team Readiness − Consistent organization with other emergency teams − Establishing an algorithm for response − Leadership and delineated roles UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM Prevention: Avoiding Behavioral Issues Many of our patients are impacted by confusion, delirium, substance abuse/withdrawal, sleep deprivation, mental health exacerbations, or other conditions affecting sensorium. Situational Awareness • Clinical considerations—glucose, oxygenation, or other changes in condition • Your actions can escalate or de-escalate behavioral issues • Abruptly entering the room or patient’s personal space can illicit a startle response • Constant interruptions by multiple care givers contribute to sleep deprivation • Perception of pain and related frustration • Family//visitor interactions • Insensitivity to cultural mores Techniques Situational Awareness Early Recognition • • • • • • Techniques • • Early Recognition Verbal Yelling Shouting Profanity Threats Non-Verbal Pacing Clenched jaw or fist Muscle tension • • • Entering patient’s room respectfully Acknowledge patient feelings Clearly communicate expectations Minimize sleep disruptions by coordinating care, visual reminders patient is sleeping & advocating for rest Maximize comfort therapies for pain & anxiety relief Increase your own cultural IQ when & where appropriate Do not threaten, challenge or argue Set clear limits on behaviors that affect the wellbeing of the patient or others Listen carefully and repeat what they say back to assure understanding Respond honestly to questions Involve Chaplaincy & Social Work early UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM Response to Behavioral Issues Once behavior escalates to levels that threaten the safety of the patient, other patients, staff, or visitors—decisive response is indicated. This 1,2, 3 guide walks providers through steps for activation. While definitions of unacceptable behavior and individual tolerance to acts of violence vary, it is essential we establish standardized behavioral “triggers” to help define a “behavioral emergency.” This flyer has been adapted in two different versions to cover both inpatient and ambulatory settings. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM Recovery: Staff Resilience After the Event Recovery after Aggressive or Violent Incident Acts of abuse, intimidation or violence are not part of the job as hospital employees and should not be tolerated, regardless of origin. • If injured as result of a violent act, • Seek appropriate treatment in Employee Health or Emergency Room • Notify your Manager • Consider your rights to press legal charges against the attacker • If this course of action is chosen, call 911 for the University of Virginia Police (UVA PD) • UVA PD will facilitate the complainant (you) swearing before the local magistrate to see if a warrant will be sought for the arrest of the attacker • UVA PD or UVA Medical Center cannot legally perform this function on your behalf • If physically or emotionally traumatized as result of workplace violence, • UVA Faculty & Employee Assistance Program (FEAP) is an excellent resource for employees recovery • If unsure about legal course of action, UVA FEAP can facilitate a free 30-minute legal consultation UVA Faculty & Employee Assistance Program 434.243.2643 http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/pub/feap UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM “ERT” Comparison Response Triggers Number called Team composition Paging sequence Team Leadership Documentation Roles Code 12 MET/PERT BERT Objective: Pulseless Patient or imminent arrest Objective: Defined physiologic triggers Subjective: “Demonstrates actual or potential violent, aggressive and/or assaultive” behavior 4-2012 4-2012 4-2012 In-house coverage for specific services (ie.
