If a healthcare worker consistently shows uncooperative attitudes when performing routine activities with another healthcare worker, such as withholding information or being critical of them following facility procedures, is this considered workplace violence?

It is indicated in this item that the attitude of the healthcare worker was only because he/she was following the facility procedure. Then, I don't think this is considered workplace violence at all. It is true that most of the healthcare facilities are withholding information in order to protect the privacy of their patients.
