Suicide Prevention 

Even though more is being done today to prevent suicide than at any other time in history, the rate of suicide continues to rise in the United States. Participants in this Prototyping Network will be lead innovators in developing and testing changes that could dramatically reduce the rate of suicide. These redesigned systems will serve as a model that can be spread to other health systems participating in the network, as well as to other health care organizations throughout the US.

Prototyping Network

In this 9-month prototyping learning network, participating sites will test change ideas and methods aimed at reducing the rate of suicides within their systems. There will be three Virtual Learning Sessions, monthly coaching and all-participant calls, and support from a team of subject matter experts.
