Suicide among teen girls is the highest it's ever been, especially since 2009 with the iphone's front-facing camera selfie mode, combined with the cyber-bullying like button, which also came out that year:
It is an important event, and it should be taken seriously. I think a more effective approach to this problem would be to require insurance companies to pay for adequate time in the hospital, and adequate aftercare; this will penalize hospitals for systems issues. Every time I go to my doctor and a bored medical assistant, typing into the computer, asks me if I have thought of suicide in the past month, I mentally raise a glass to all the ways that JCAHO requires compliance in ways that will never be effective.
I'd be more appreciative of this effort if I had more confidence they'd use this hypothetically more robust dataset to greater effect.
From my standpoint, mostly at the acute inpatient LOC, it will as you suggest worsen continuity/coordination obstacles without furnishing any new resources to address them. That setting has many challenges, but failing to take post-discharge suicide seriously is not one of them.
