Advancing Suicide Prevention Efforts through Data & Surveillance Slide17

Surveillance as a Priority

SurveillanceOngoing, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data about a health-related event for use in public health action to reduce morbidity and to improve health

SAMHSA PrioritySlide18

Surveillance as a Priority

Existing Data CollectionFlorida Injury Surveillance System

- Vital Records (Death Certificates)

- Hospital Discharge Data

- Emergency Department Discharge Data

Limited to hospital reported attempts obtained by suicidal injuries

Many systems/agencies may already collect and use this data, but without an integrated system to share dataSlide19

Why is Surveillance So Important?

Suicide prevention and intervention work is greatly informed by data and surveillance! Data collection and sharing promotes:Understanding the problemAssessing impact of existing services

Identification of gaps/barriers

Identification of areas to target efforts

Effective use of fundsSlide20
