# Findings: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUICIDE RISK MATRIX EXPLANATION

We have modified The Joint Commission’s SAFER Matrix to reflect suicide risk by plotting thelikelihood of harm (H=high, M=medium, L=low) on the Y axis against the type of setting on the X axis.The setting itself may determine the likelihood of harm of some risks. The number of findings in aparticular box in the matrix is represented by the number in the upper right corner of the box.

All suicide risks would be scored by The Joint Commission at EC.02.06.01 EP 1.

Types of settings are as follows:

Behavioral Health Dedicated Space: This is the highest risk space in areas dedicated to behavioralhealth, whether in an inpatient unit or dedicated space in an emergency department. Dedicated spaceincludes patient rooms and corridors. Patients in these areas may not always have direct supervision.All risks in these areas are expected to be removed or mitigated with one-to-one observation.

Behavioral Health Common Areas: These are areas within dedicated behavioral health units in whichpatients are not without supervision, such as dining areas, group rooms, day rooms, etc. Risks in theseareas are to be documented and removed or mitigated as feasible.

General/Acute Care Areas: These are areas of the organization that are typically used by the non-behavioral health population, such as a general medical/surgical unit, intensive care unit, or a typicalemergency department treatment room or bay. Risks in these areas are to be identified and those risksthat are removable must be documented and removed when the space is occupied by a behavioralhealth patient. All remaining risks are to be mitigated by one-to-one observation.

NOTE: In outpatient behavioral health settings, patients are expected to be screened as to theappropriateness of the setting, therefore suicide risks are not scored in these settings.

General RecommendationsNote 1: this assessment is only for the foot print of the building and does not include the exterior or any attachment to the exterior of the building. The grounds and any structure on the groundsare also not included.

Note 2: S-3 is under remodel. The assessment was done on what was completed at the time of the assessment.

Note 3: This assessment is to identify, at the organization's request, as many ligature and self harm points in areas where the patient has access, whether they are observed, accompanied, orunaccompanied. The organization will then determine their own risk for these areas.

Note 4: All elevator vestibules that patients access have in common: door bell, fire alarm and conduit, sprinkler head, some have a wall mounted phone with cord, door handle, and exposed doorclosure and hinges.

Note 5: All TV consoles have the same issues with the door hinges, door latch and lock, and strip across the top of the door.

Note 6: All patient rooms have the same issues with the clothes locker: long front panel, shelves have gaps, lower smaller shelf can be removed and used as a weapon as can the lower cabinetdoor, shelf brackets have gaps, top angle piece of locker is not flush to the wall, built in desk mounting brackets have gaps.

Note 7: Due to so many similar findings the pictures attached may not be the exact picture, but due to similarities represent the findings in kind.

Note 8: The following rooms have been in use: S7-211, S8-303, 305, 317, 314, 341, 301, 359, 351 not being used.
