Summary
Perspectives on suicide prevention in health and behavioral health systems have widened in recent years from focusing primarily on the skills and practices of individual providers to now taking in the goal of creating a suicide-safer healthcare system as a whole. This movement has been inspired by other quality initiatives in healthcare that aim to eliminate medical errors, improve continuity, and improve organizational innovation by reducing the occurrence of preventable outcomes. In the field of suicide prevention, this movement has included the aspirational goal of ‘zero suicides’ in care.
