A new report from the advocacy group Public Citizen Report says that hospital executives have no plan of action for lowering injuries to nurses, according to an article on the Fierce Healthcare website.
The report also says the industry appears to be resisting any government attempt at regulation.
The American Hospital Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce-led Coalition for Workplace Safety, the American Health Care Association and its affiliated National Center for Assisted Living all oppose regulation, according to the "Little Support from Above" report.
However, "none of the organizations offered a meaningful response" as to how they would reduce injuries, according to Public Citizen.
