Suicide in the medical setting.
Ballard ED, Pao M, Henderson D, et al. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2008;34:474-481.

This review sought to differentiate suicides in hospitalized medical patients from suicides in psychiatric patients or the general population. Finding a shortage of detailed data, the authors call for more comprehensive research on in-hospital suicides to inform prevention strategies.
