As Chair of the DBC, the Program Manager is responsible for overseeing the day to day business of the committee, producing agenda and minutes and follow-up of all decisions of the DBC at the monthly meetings, maintaining knowledge and use of the latest evidence-based risk assessment and management literature and tools, conducting clinical threat/risk assessments of Veterans and Veteran-generated disruptive behavior to determine recommendations for risk mitigation to use in consultation with providers, clinical staff and DBC members, informing and providing clinical intervention in cases of disruptive or violent behavior history or assessed risk for such behavior, providing education to staff, and providing timely and accurate responses to action items regarding the DBC or Workplace Violence Prevention Program. The Program Manager will interpret and write policies, procedures and program guidelines in the development, planning, operations, and continuous performance improvement of the program.

The Program Manager will have oversight of the Employee Threat Assessment Team (ETAT) and the Behavioral Emergency Response Team (BERT), and has general oversight of the Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior (PMDB) program. The Program Manager will collaborate with other departments to manage the use of data related to these programs regarding day to day functioning, effectiveness, and program evaluation. The Program Manager will also assist in educating staff in recognizing signs and factors of potential danger, ways to de-escalate disruptions, and identifying VA resources that can directly address individual needs to help improve the quality of veteran care and reduce overall risk. In conjunction with Administration, the Mental Health Service, and HR, the Program Manager will plan, organize and direct administrative, operational, patient and personnel activities for the program. The Program Manager will collaborate effectively with legal representatives, the Office of the Inspector General, court officials including the Assistant U.S. Attorney, police (VA and community), and other consumers and/or community providers when necessary.

The Program Manager has oversight and administrative authority over all programming and participates in program development, implementation, and evaluation. Additionally, the Program Manager works closely with Mental Health Service Line leadership to develop strategic plans for the growth and development of the program.

The Program Manager is expected to remain engaged with service line and hospital activities by serving on committees, participating in workgroups, and engaging in educational activities for staff and trainees.
