Title
Suicide Prediction and Prevention for People at Risk for Opioid Use Disorder
Short Description
This study integrates the Mental Health Research Network (MHRN) suicide risk models into Opioid Wizard, an electronic health record (EHR) clinical decision support (CDS) to identify and treat patients at high risk of opioid use disorder (OUD)/overdose or diagnosed with OUD, to alert primary care clinicians (PCCs) to patients at elevated risk for suicide and guide them through structured suicide risk assessment.
Release Date
Apr 22, 2025
Description
When a patient is at elevated risk of suicide, the PCC will be prompted by Opioid Wizard to complete the Columbia-Suicide Severity Risk Scale (CSSRS), easily available to all PCCs in the EHR and saved as discrete data elements. Risk-based (depending on CSSRS score) referral and follow-up recommendations for suicide prevention will be given, with specific care recommendations ranging from care as usual (very low risk) to referral to behavioral health for evaluation and safety planning (moderate to high risk) to immediate evaluation in the emergency department and potential inpatient admission (very high risk), building on workflows developed for use by care managers in in our recently completed suicide prevention trial of over 19,000 people at elevated risk of suicide.
