Abstract

Abstract Violence in hospitals poses a vexing and increasingly urgent problem. At Cooper University Hospital, we recently developed the therapeutic violence mitigation (TVM) initiative. Innovations in TVM include the use of technology, automated text notifications, and tailored care plans for patients at risk for violence. Pilot results show substantial decreases in violent events for patients receiving TVM interventions.
