Non-Escalation, De-Escalation and Crisis Management

The Vistelar methodology focuses first on “non-escalation” with foundational teaching elements grounded in empathy and trauma informed principles, putting patient care at the center to improve everyday interactions before they escalate. The training also focuses on mental and physical pre-encounter preparation steps that are proven to help reduce the opportunities for patient or staff harm during response to moments of escalation or aggression. This version focuses on the role of Healthcare Emergency Department Specialists and the types of interactions they encounter in their daily work.
