In San Francisco General Hospital's emergency room, violent assaults on nurses are not unusual, according to an article on the Security Infowatch website.

The hospital has created a workplace violence committee that focuses on preventive strategies and de-escalation.
One nurse who has been on the emergency room’s violence prevention committee since it was formed in November said nothing new has been implemented since then.
