The purpose of this presentation includes creating quality and lasting systemic change in support of best practices in screening, intervention, and follow up of suicidal patients. Ideas for universal screening implementation, utilization of integrated care, and development of one-to-one observations for those at risk will be discussed. The Chickasaw Nation’s work in these efforts will be utilized as an example of a progressing system.
