This talk offers a brief description of a zero suicide approach to health care. Suicide Care in Systems Framework was developed by the Clinical Care and Intervention Task Force of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention. Task Force co-chairs David Covington, vice president for Youth & Adult Services at Magellan of Arizona, and Mike Hogan, then commissioner of mental health for the state of New York, strongly believe that organizations and systems must work to make suicide a "never event" in programs and systems of care.
