Hospitals and Suicide Care: Cost-Benefit AnalysisType: RPF Description: The Pew Charitable Trusts seeks a contractor to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the costs and benefits to hospitals and health systems of implementing universal suicide screening and suicide risk discharge care. This includes reviewing existing research, identifying of direct and indirect costs and benefits (monetary and nonmonetary), conducting quantitative and qualitative analyses, and drafting a paper for publication. The goal is to assess the business case for hospitals to adopt evidence-based practices—universal suicide screening, safety planning, lethal means counseling, warm hand-offs to outpatient care (i.e. one provider connects a patient in-person or virtually to another provider), and follow-up contact—that help identify and engage patients at risk for suicide. This project builds on the understanding that while many providers recognize the importance of suicide prevention services, significant gaps remain because of resource constraints. The resulting work will support informed policy and practice decisions in hospital settings. Contact: Patial Sherzai ([email protected]) Key Dates:
