Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, learners will be able to
• Develop, implement and evaluate a clinical protocol that is most appropriate for the population served by their health organization.
Knowledge Base
• What do we know about suicide risk management in the context of mental health and addictions?
• How can we use this knowledge to improve patient safety?
04/13/23 3
Drivers
• Why should organizations focus on suicide assessment and management (SAM)?
• Why should your organization focus on SAM?
• Why now?

DriversA Planning and Practice Priority for Safety
• APA (2003)• JCAHO (2008)• WHO• The Australian National
Mental Health Working Group (2005)

Knowledge Base: What do we know?Overview
• Mental Illness & suicide risk
• 44-47% of inpatient suicides are preventable.
• Canadian Patient Safety Institute:
– A standardized approach is required in assessing suicide risk and implementing evidence-based interventions.
04/13/23 7
Accreditation CanadaPatient Safety ROP
Tests for compliance:
…that the organization…
1. Assesses each client for risk of suicide at regular intervals, or as needs change.
2. Identifies clients at risk of suicide.
3. Addresses the clients immediate safety needs
4. Identifies treatment and monitoring strategies to ensure client safety.
5. Documents the treatment and monitoring strategies in the client’s health record.
The Provincial Suicide Clinical Framework A PHSA initiative
• Province-Wide Initiative
• Any health authority, program or service can tailor the Framework to their unique populations, while conforming to the overall structure and ensuring ROP compliance.

We began with a question
How do we respond to patient safety needs at each stage of a patient’s journey through our services?

Best Practice Literature Review
– Multiple populations within MH&A
– Most robust evidence for improving safety
A broad, multidisciplinary best practice literature review was completed in relation to suicide risk management
04/13/23 13
Framework Development: Information Sources
• Peer-reviewed research literature • Best practice guidelines and practice parameters from the American
Psychiatric Association, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the Canadian Coalition of Seniors’ Mental Health, The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, The National Institute for Clinical Excellence, The Centre for Substance Abuse Treatment and the New Zealand Guidelines Group.
• Gray literature from similarly situated mental health and addiction services
• Accreditation Canada• Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities• Results from an environmental scan of current practices and
perceived gaps in suicide risk management across the health authorities
04/13/23 14
Framework Development: Information Sources
• British Columbia Ministry of Health Services and Ministry of Child and Family Development
• General Practice Services Committee (a joint committee of the BC Ministry of Health Services, the BC Medical Association, and the Society of General Practitioners of BC)
• The Centre for Applied Research in Mental Health and Addiction (CARMHA)
• The Canadian Medical Protection Agency (CMPA)• The Suicide Prevention/Intervention/Postvention Initiative for BC
(Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Centre of BC)• Data from a Province-wide environmental scan, initiated by the
Provincial Suicide Clinical Framework Steering Committee, eliciting service provider input (including direct care providers, physicians, managers and directors)

Tools
How do users take this large literature review and apply it to a specific service within MH&A?
1. Environmental Scan Tool
2. Decision Support Matrices
04/13/23 16
Decision Support Matrices
Decision Support Matrices summarize the best or most promising practice assessment tools and treatment options across different populations.

Evaluation Tool
An Evaluation Framework was developed, based on an extensive literature review of similar initiatives in like jurisdictions
The Evaluation Framework also provides a logic model for tracking and measuring expected short and long term outcomes.

Logic Model – Project Goal Identify safety risks inherent in client population
Project ObjectivesInputs(resources/ budget lines)
Activities(activities, tasks, strategies)
Outputs(deliverables)
Short-Term Outcomes
Long-Term Outcomes
To assess each client for risk of suicide at regular intervals, or as needs change
To identify clients at risk of suicide
To address clients' immediate safety needs
To identify treatment and monitoring strategies to ensure client safety
To document treatment and monitoring strategies in client's health record
Planning staff resources: executive leadership, project leader, quality analyst, communications, change management & learning and development representatives, sub-committee leads/experts & members, administrative support
Implementation staff resources: Planning staff, plus all direct care staff time
Material resources: assessment tools
Development and implementation of a suicide risk management protocol for each site/population
Communication initiative developed and implemented
# of sites with developed and implemented protocols
% of clients assessed for risk of suicide at intake
% of clients assessed for risk at regular intervals, or as needs change
% of clients with appropriate documentations of treatment strategies
% of clients with appropriate documentations of monitoring strategies
Improved clinical consistency in suicide risk assessmentImproved clinical consistency in suicide treatment strategies.Improved consistency of suicide monitoring strategiesImproved consistency in documentation practices related to suicide risk management.
