Abstract

The French Professional Suicidal Helpline 3114 was launched on October 1st, 2021. The objective of this study was to implement automated reports of the activity of the suicidal helpline. We developed automated reports and presentations with Rmarkdown. Two formats were developed, national reports to present for a funding agency and regional reports for each calling center. These reports fulfill a critical need to adjust call distribution patterns, identify problems, adjust communication across the territory and ensure that 3114 is delivering the service it is supposed to provide.
