Suicide Risk Assessment SOPs
A written procedure telling clinical staff how to screen for, assess, document, and respond to a patient's risk of suicide.
What it usually contains
- Screening questions and when to use them (intake, ED triage, follow-up visits)
- Risk level definitions and the criteria that place a patient in each level
- Required actions per level: continuous observation, safety planning, means restriction, transfer or hold
- Documentation and handoff requirements, including who must be notified and how quickly
- Staff training, competency, and re-screening intervals; means-restriction and environmental safety checks
What the assistant uses it for
Use it to answer who screens a patient and when, what score or answer triggers escalation, and what steps are required before a patient at risk can be discharged or left unobserved. Also covers documentation wording, notification chains, and staff training expectations.
How it is versioned
A document of this type has exactly one current version at a time. Upload a revision and it becomes the version that counts — the one before it is kept and dated, but is no longer what your assistant answers from. Nothing is ever deleted, so you can always show what this document said on a given date.
