## Summary

**Improves VA data on veteran suicides on Department property.** This bill would create a dedicated Working Group and require a unified data system to collect, analyze, and report suicides and attempted suicides that occur on VA property, plus annual trend reviews and prevention recommendations. - Veterans and families: Would produce clearer, regular statistics and targeted prevention recommendations to inform safety and outreach for veterans who use VA facilities. - VA medical centers and field offices: Would have to coordinate with the Working Group at least every 90 days, add suicide and attempted suicide fields to incident reports, and standardize record sections so data feeds into one integrated management system. - Department leaders and Congress: Would establish the Working Group for 2 to 5 years, require a briefing within one year and annual briefings thereafter, and require a final report within 30 days after the group's period ends.
