Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To develop, validate, and test the feasibility of implementation of 4 new quality measures assessing emergency department (ED) and inpatient care for suicidal youth. METHODS:Four quality measures were developed to assess hospital-based care for suicidal youth. These measures, focused on counseling caregivers about restricting access to lethal means of self-harm and benefits and risks of antidepressant medications, were operationalized into 2 caregiver surveys that assessed ED and inpatient quality, respectively. Survey field tests included caregivers of youth who received inpatient and/or ED care for suicidality at 1 of 2 children's hospitals between July 2013 and June 2014. We examined the feasibility of obtaining measure scores and variation in scores. Multivariate models examined associations between quality measure scores and 4 validation metrics: modified Child Hospital Consumer Assessments of Health Care Providers and Systems, communication composites, hospital readmissions, and ED return visits. RESULTS:Response rates were 35% (ED) and 31% (inpatient). Most caregivers reported receiving counseling to restrict their child's access to lethal means of self-harm (90% in the ED and 96% in the inpatient setting). In the inpatient setting, caregivers reported higher rates of counseling on benefits (95%) of newly prescribed antidepressants than risks (physical adverse effects 85%, increased suicidality 72%). Higher scores on the latter measure were associated with higher nurse (P < .001) and doctor (P < .01) communication composite scores. Measure scores were not associated with readmissions or ED return visits. CONCLUSIONS:These new quality measures evaluate key aspects of care for suicidal youth, and they may facilitate assessing quality of care for this vulnerable population.
