Brief summary

The BERT project will implement a clinical decision support tool that predicts which admitted patients are at higher risk of requiring a Behavioral Emergency Response Team (BERT) intervention within the next 48 hours. The model uses existing EHR data and displays a risk-stratified patient list in an Epic dashboard visible to providers for 3 months. The goal is to help clinicians identify high-risk patients earlier, prioritize behavioral health resources, and support proactive intervention planning before escalation occurs.
