It helps document current or increased suicide/self-injury risk concern, risk and protective factors, treatment actions, emergency interventions considered or taken, consultation, follow-up responsibility, and reevaluation timing.

Follow-up responsibility and reevaluation timing are central completion elements and remain prominent until entered.
