Webinar: How Implementing Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycles Improves Suicide Care

People who die by suicide are touching our health care system: 84% of those who die by suicide have seen a health care provider in the year before their death. 92% of those who made a suicide attempt have seen a health care provider in the year before their attempt. The Zero Suicide framework is based on the realization that suicidal individuals often fall through the cracks in a sometimes fragmented and distracted health care system. The Zero Suicide framework offers health care systems a systematic approach to quality improvement to caring for those at risk for suicide that addresses these gaps in care.

This presentation will demonstrate how plan-do-study-act/PDSA cycles can help with the overall adoption of Zero Suicide and integration of Zero Suicide into health care systems.
