The government in Nova Scotia, Canada, has announced measures to reduce violence at emergency departments across the province, according to an article on the Herald News website.
A recent report from a group that included officials from government, the nurses’ union, the Nova Scotia Health Authority and police made 12 recommendations to improve safety, including that all emergency departments undergo risk assessments.
Other recommendations included providing staff with devices allowing them to call for assistance.
An government official said the province will have a better idea of that once the risk assessments are completed by August.
