In this cohort study of 120 398 adult patient encounters, an ensemble learning approach combined suicide risk predictions from the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale and a real-time machine learning model. Combined models outperformed either model alone for risks of suicide attempt and suicidal ideation across a variety of time periods.
