Risk Tracking
Building Safety Into Mental Health Assessment
Managing suicide risk can be stressful, especially for mental health professionals handling large caseloads or complex patients.
It’s crucial to establish suitable practices for assessing and managing the risk of suicide—especially given the increased prevalence of suicidality over the past 10 years.
While directly asking about suicide risk is vital, Measurely supports you by identifying unusual or extreme patient responses to assessment questions. These responses may indicate current self-harm, suicidal ideation, or thoughts of harming others.
Whenever Measurely identifies a ‘red flag’ item response, it ensures that you are notified immediately, and in an obvious manner.
Red flags show up centrally within the Dashboard, and also appear as red badges for you to examine when reviewing your patient’s assessment.
