abstract="PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: This article: PRIMARY PRACTICE SETTINGS(S):: Applicable to all health care sectors where case management is practiced. <br><br>FINDINGS/CONCLUSION: Despite glaring improvements in how care is rendered and an enhanced focus on quality delivery of care, a glaring issue has emerged for immediate resolution: the elimination of workplace bullying and violence. The emerging regulatory and organizational initiatives to reframe the delivery of care will become meaningless if the continued level of violence among and against the health care workforce is allowed to continue. IMPLICATIONS FOR CASE MANAGEMENT PRACTICE: Professionals who hesitate to confront and address incidents of disruptive and oppressive behavior in the health care workplace potentially practice unethically. Bullying has fostered a dangerous culture of silence in the industry, one that impacts patient safety, quality care delivery plus has longer term behavioral health implications for the professionals striving to render care. Add the escalating numbers specific to workplace violence and the trends speak to an atmosphere of safety and quality in the health care workplace, which puts patients and professionals at risk.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
