Members of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI), Medicine, Pediatrics, and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences published a study that analyzed how well electronic health record-based suicide risk models perform in the clinical setting and if performance is generalizable. The study was published in JAMA on March 12, 2021. 

Colin Walsh, MD, MA, Assistant Professor in DBMI, Medicine, and Psychiatry discussed the study and addressed important questions on Twitter. See the thread here.
