Management of Assaultive Behavior (MAB)/AB-508 Violence Prevention

Management of Assaultive Behavior (MAB) or AB-508 Violence Prevention is a Palm Desert Resuscitation Education LLC (PDRE) course that is required for healthcare providers who require a certification in managing aggressive behavior in the outpatient clinic, inpatient hospital, emergency department, and other healthcare settings. It is also intended for those non-healthcare providers and/or individuals desiring to learn how to manage assaultive and aggressive behaviors by de-escalating situations to prevent any potential assaults on patients, staff, personnel, or laypersons.

Audience:

Management of Assaultive Behavior (MAB)/AB-508 Violence Prevention

  • The Law requires this for all healthcare personnel assigned to the Emergency Departments or working in psychiatric facilities, where management of assaultive behavior and violence prevention is needed.
  • This class is also intended for those who desire to know how to handle confidently difficult situations to act appropriately and steadfast, feel safer with a preventative and defensive approach, and be more confidant in handling yourself in instances where you need to use your sound training and logic over brute physical strength regardless of your size and stature.
  • Specific healthcare and non-healthcare/layperson providers who need MAB/AB-508: Emergency department and psychiatric employees, staff, and personnel such ED and psychiatric physicians, nurses (CNAs, LVNs, LPNs, RNs, MSNs, etc.); respiratory therapists, paramedics; EMTs; technicians; social workers; LMFTs; physical therapists; security guards; law enforcement; and lay persons.

In this course, skills are taught in large, group sessions and small, group learning and testing stations where case-based scenarios may be presented.

Features:

  • This is an approved 100% classroom-based.
  • This course may also be renewed by the expiration of the course completion certificate/card to remain a valid.
  • CALIFORNIA BILL NUMBER: AB 508; CHAPTERED 10/08/93
    • This bill would require all hospital employees regularly assigned to the emergency department to receive training and education relating to various security topics, including, but not limited to, general safety measures, aggression and violence predicting factors, and verbal and physical maneuvers to diffuse or avoid violent behavior, by January 1, 1995, and on a continuing basis thereafter as provided for in the security plan of the hospital. The bill would require prescribed medical and other staff to receive the same security training or training determined sufficient pursuant to the security plan of the hospital.
    • This bill would require by July 1, 1995, all general acute care, acute psychiatric, and special hospitals to conduct a security and safety assessment and to develop a security plan.
    • This bill would require reporting of any act of assault or battery, as defined, against any on-duty hospital personnel to the local enforcement agency within 72 hours, and would make any individual knowingly interfering with or obstructing the reporting process guilty of a misdemeanor, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. Since violation of health facility licensing standards and willful violation of the regulations adopted for these facilities is a misdemeanor, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program by changing the definition of a crime.
