Validated Tool Determines Frequency of Disruptive Behaviors in Healthcare

Healthy Workforce Institute’s new report provides healthcare leaders with 10 years of data collected about disruptive behaviors through a simple, practical, easy-to-use validated assessment tool and onsite educational workshops.

Healthy Workforce Institute’s Disruptive Behavior Survey (HWI-DBS) measures the frequency of witnessed and experienced disruptive behaviors in the workplace.

The 15-question survey is simple to administer and highlights overt and covert behaviors using a likert scale ranging from never to frequently. The HWI-DBS tool assesses common unprofessional behaviors that undermine a respectful workforce culture.

“We use the survey before and after an educational intervention at a healthcare organization, and the results provide leaders with clarity regarding common behaviors specific to their department and help us to develop a customized solution tailored to address their unique needs,” says Dr. Thompson.
