The IAHSS Foundation is hoping to embark on a new, highly relevant original academic research project at the end of 2020 or start of 2021. These projects are done to expand data and fill a relevant hole in the industry where research is sorely needed.

In order for us to make the best decision where to invest and who to contract with for this research, we would love your ideas of critical research you might find valuable and that would be helpful and applicable to most if not all in the healthcare security industry. Please send any topical ideas for this important initiative to Bonnie Michelman, IAHSS Foundation President at bmichelman@partners.org

A list will be compiled, vetted and a decision will be made what topic or area seems the most compelling for this upcoming Research project.

QUESTION: Is NIOSH/ OSHA Workplace Violence Program / General Duty Clause actually effective? Why is healthcare workplace violence so prevalent around the world (U.S., Canada, England, Asia, etc.).? Are the different countries tracking and trending similarly? Any trends? Is there another program that might be better than NIOSH/ OSHA?
