PODCAST: Making Strides Against Veterans Suicide

The VA has embarked on its Mission Daybreak, a $20 million grand challenge to reduce Veteran suicides. 

A participant in Mission Daybreak, DSS, Inc. submitted a solution that has advanced to phase two of the challenge. It is a multidimensional approach to detect suicidal ideation in real-time using Machine Learning (ML) techniques that improves Veteran distress prediction accuracy.

In a recent episode of the FedHealthIT “Keeping IT Brief” podcast, Michele Burst, Director Strategic Innovations, Analytics at DSS, Inc., discussed the Mission Daybreak submission, as well as how DSS, Inc. is a catalyst for healthcare innovation.

DSS, Inc. also helps elevate patient safety and care quality for Veterans by deploying innovative, interoperable health care solutions that keep Veterans at the center of highly reliable care.
