Development and Validation of Electronic Health Record Measures of Safety Planning Practices as Part of Zero Suicide Implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Safety planning for suicide prevention is an important quality metric for Zero Suicide implementation. We describe the development, validation, and application of electronic health record (EHR) programs to measure uptake of safety planning practices across six integrated healthcare systems as part of a Zero Suicide evaluation study.
