Henry Ford Health System5,250 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to harmonize jail release record data with electronic health record data in order to connect patients to an evidence-based suicide prevention and clinical care pathway upon jail release.

This study is designed to test the effectiveness of a care pathway delivered at the time of jail release, to increase behavioral health services engagement and prevent suicide attempt. There are 3 primary aims of this study: (1) Examine the effectiveness of the intervention on suicide attempt outcomes. (2) Evaluate the impact of the intervention on behavioral health utilization mechanisms. (3) Evaluate implementation outcomes and processes to guide future implementation and research, including: cost and cost-effectiveness; scalability; sustainability; feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness to providers/systems; and implementation strategies.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Composite measures of suicide attempt and death

Nonfatal medically treated suicide attempts will be identified using diagnosis and encounter codes from all inpatient, outpatient, and emergency department encounters recorded in the EHR (for services delivered by participating systems) or claims (for outside services). All suicide deaths will be identified via linkage to regularly updated state mortality data and the National Death Index (NDI). Suicide deaths will be identified using ICD-10 codes indicating definite or possible self-inflicted injury, or deaths identified as suicides in official state government mortality data (updated monthly in each site).

Time frame: 6-months from jail release date
