emergency services, inpatient consult psychiatric team, and community mental health provider (N = 5). To guide the interviews, we developed a semistructured interview guide. Key domains of inquiry included: existing care process, barriers to effective care delivery, and interventions for improving care delivery. Our goal for this phase was to explore possible health system improvements for patients with self‐inflicted injury. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Brandeis University.
