Development of new quality measures for hospital-based care of suicidal youth.
This study researched the value of 4 new quality measures developed to assess hospital-based care for suicidal youth. The four quality measures focused on counseling caregivers about restricting access to lethal means of self-harm, and the benefits and risks of antidepressant medications. They were divided into measures for the emergency department (ED) and inpatient measures. Survey field tests were conducted with caregivers of youth who were admitted to the ED or inpatient care for suicidality at 1 of 2 children’s hospitals between July 2013 and June 2014. Most caregivers did receive counseling about restricting their child’s access to lethal means of self-harm and also reported higher rates of counseling of benefits on antidepressants both in the ED and in the inpatient setting than the risks.

Sources of traffic and visitors' preferences regarding online public reports of quality: web analytics and online survey results.
Online public reports of quality exist, but little is known about how visitors find reports or about their purpose in visiting. To address this gap,the researchers gathered website analytics data from a national group of online public reports of hospital or physician quality and surveyed real-time visitors to those websites. They found that consumers were frequently interested in using the information to choose providers or assess the quality of their provider.
