(BHAGs)
Smallpox was eradicated in 1980.
The five-year survival rates in 1975 of
certain forms of cancer, such as breast,
prostate, and colorectal, were 75%,
69%, and 51%, respectively. In 2007,
survival rates increased to 90%, 100%,
and 67%, respectively.
And the incidence of polio has gone
down dramatically since 1988, when
over 350,000 cases were reported. In
2014, that number plummeted to only
359 reported cases, a 99% decrease.

Prominent suicidologists, argued successfully, albeit
erroneously, that this is not a healthcare issue. They kept
suicide out of the mental health Bible, the DSM, stating,
“suicide is, by definition, not a disease, but a death that is
caused by a self-inflicted intentional action or behavior.”
Not a Healthcare Issue?

Crossing the Quality Chasm
After becoming a finalist for a Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation grant, Don Berwick challenged the HFHS team to
pursue perfection. A nurse staff member suggested that would
mean zero suicide deaths. Within four years, their death rate
had decreased by 75 percent.

effectiveness, and credibility was low. Since 2005, Link2Health

Veteran’s hotline, added chat technology, and introduced
best practice standards now utilized worldwide.

recommendations to improve crisis and suicide care. While et
