medical records throughout the nation's health care system, federal

Nurses on the
front lines of workplace violence
According to a recent survey by the Emergency Nurses
Association (ENA), 86 percent of emergency nurses report having been the
victim of violence by a patient or a patient's family member when
working in the emergency department.
Workplace violence and a nursing shortage -- combined with increasing

research will convene in Boston at the 2007 ENA Leadership Conference to
identify solutions and discuss best practices for improving the
emergency department experience for patients and staff.
