Background: Some unprofessional behaviours, including allegations of discrimination, hostile work environment, violent behaviour, sexual boundary violations, potentially impaired clinicians, professional integrity and retaliation, require healthcare organisations to have a timely and reliable process to guide investigation, inquiry and/or interventions. Failure to have a consistent approach creates extraordinary risk for organisations, their team members and their patients.
Methods: Descriptive study of five health systems that participate in a national professionalism collaborative through the Vanderbilt Health Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy (CPPA) and implemented a huddle process to guide the initial disposition of event reports describing unprofessional behaviours that might warrant investigation, inquiry or intervention.

Introduction: Unprofessional behaviors (UB) such as bullying and incivility among healthcare staff are a significant and pervasive issue, impacting staff wellbeing, and patient safety and experiences of care. Despite its prevalence, misconceptions persist regarding the impact of UB and the mechanisms through which it affects patients.
Areas Covered: We draw upon evidence including outcomes from an extensive realist review and empirical research, to demonstrate the impacts of UB on patient safety and experience, particularly focusing on how even mild forms of incivility can compromise care quality.
