  • Rates of WPV are likely underestimated because past studies have mostly used surveys that rely on recall of past events.
  • A study featured in the March 2024 issue of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety (JQPS) overcomes this important barrier by precisely measuring nurse and patient care assistant exposure rates to patient aggression in real time, shedding light on prevention and management measures.
