Join us as we discuss how crisis services providers can leverage the use of AI to evaluate quality and mitigate growing challenges related to the steady increase in demand for crisis services.
Crisis Services are in Need of Quality Control Solutions
There have been substantial resources allocated to 988 crisis centers across the nation to help scale up the availability of mental health services. However, with a projection of up to 40 million calls a year by 2026, many wonder how crisis centers will continue to care for those at risk of suicide, while also supporting those who are providing the care.
As timely and accessible crisis services become increasingly available, quality control comes in the form of direct observation of select contacts and relies on expert human raters to evaluate session recordings. While effective for rating a small sample set, this method is time-intensive, often rather expensive, and not used consistently in real-world treatment settings. This presents a challenge to providing the high-quality crisis services that are critical to safe suicide care.
Transformative Change Requires a System-Wide Approach
Healthcare systems that have adopted Zero Suicide know that transformative change happens only in the context of systems that build a culture where policies, practices, and training “bake in” changes that promote safe suicide care. Zero Suicide takes a system-wide approach to improve outcomes and close gaps.
To meet the urgent need to enhance quality monitoring and feedback to support services and staff—not just in 988 but on all levels of behavioral health and wellness services—many organizations are turning to technology to help.
