Identifying patients with suicidal ideation can be a challenging clinical problem in the emergency department. These authors use a systems-based approach to identify missed opportunities to prevent suicide and present a systems approach to suicide prevention including three core domains – a culture of safety and prevention, applying best practices and policies for prevention in systems, and workforce education and development.
