Rudeness, intimidation and bullying have long been identified as problems in the health care workplace. More than just an irritation, however, recent studies have shown that health care providers’ bad behavior can negatively affect patient outcomes and increase liability risk. Further, it may increase staff turnover and reduce patient satisfaction.
