Battling healthcare’s rising trend: workplace violence
Stemming patient and staff injury in healthcare environments involves more than preventing falls and infections. The alarming rise in violence faced by healthcare providers has forced hospitals and health systems to focus on a critical yet often overlooked issue in healthcare—workplace violence.
Entitled “Tackling Workplace Violence in Healthcare,” the latest Key In To Quality podcast episode, features Mayo Clinic experts, Casey Clements, M.D., Ph.D. and Sarayna McGuire, M.D., who work as emergency medicine consultants. Together, they explore the complex factors contributing to violent incidents, their impact on staff well-being, and innovative strategies for creating safer healthcare environments.
Listeners will learn about various forms of violence in healthcare, including microaggressions, verbal abuse, and physical confrontations. The discussion reveals a 47% rise in healthcare violence over the last five years and shares firsthand accounts from clinicians. It challenges misconceptions that violence is confined to psychiatric settings. The podcast also highlights Mayo Clinic's initiatives in violence prevention through community partnerships, reporting tools, and technology like passive weapons detection.

It’s been said that “teamwork makes the dream work.” Eric Siebeneck, performance improvement advisor, our guest on this episode of the Mayo Clinic Key in to Quality podcast, agrees with this when it comes to healthcare organizations working to improve quality of care delivery. However, often the responsibility is siloed and even shouldered by one or two individuals. Collaboration, particularly with clinicians, is critical to achieving rapid and lasting performance improvement. According to Eric the key to effective and lasting change is in an organization’s culture. At Mayo Clinic, he facilitates and coaches teams within the clinical practice toward better outcomes. He says bridging gaps between people and departments generates new ideas, improves outcomes, and contributes to a more resilient, responsive, and joyful workplace. Eric shares common misperceptions about quality improvement and key success factors he’s discovered in his work.

It's been said that passion provides purpose, but data drives decisions. When it comes to patient experience data, both are true. Often, however, it is easy to focus on surface-level summaries while overlooking valuable insights or “golden nuggets.”
In this episode, Laurie Wilshusen, administrator, Quality Experience Research, Mayo Clinic expounds on 30 years of experience listening to patients through market research. While the state of the art has changed a lot throughout her career, she points to more contemporary tools such as natural language processing, which reveals the golden nuggets (what patients are saying about their experiences and needs) and efficiencies to organize it into actionable insights. Listen in as Ms. Wilshusen shares her thoughts how leaders can use and share data more effectively and empathically, and a glimpse into the future of measuring emotions, human connection, relationships, and trust.

Research supports the connection between the patient experience, patient safety, and clinical outcomes. How do these health care factors intersect to support human connection and trust within clinical encounters? And why is that essential?
In this episode of the Key in to Quality podcast, Dawn Davis, M.D., department chair and consultant, Dermatology, Mayo Clinic, shares her thoughts on the patient journey: from first making an appointment to walking out of the hospital or clinic. According to Dr. Davis, the journey involves the patient, their family, caregivers, and providers, and requires a unique skillset to make personal connections, build trust, and help patients feel seen and heard. She says making patients the top priority in every interaction leads to better patient outcomes and increased satisfaction by patients and those caring for them.
