![Project bridges compute staff, resources at ORNL and VA health data to speed suicide risk screening for US veterans. Image Credit: Carlos Jones, ORNL](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-08/VA_REACHVET1%5B6%5D_0.jpg?h=173ee000&itok=-eA5t15j)
In collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs, a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has expanded a VA-developed predictive computing model to identify veterans at risk of suicide and sped it up to run 300 times faster, a gain that could profoundly affect the VA’s ability to reach susceptible veterans quickly.
