\textbf{Current Regimen Optimization}:
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*]
\item \textbf{ADD: Empagliflozin (Jardiance) 10mg daily}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Rationale}: SGLT2 inhibitor provides dual benefit - improves diabetes control AND reduces HF hospitalizations/mortality (EMPEROR-Reduced trial). Also slows CKD progression.
\item \textit{Monitoring}: eGFR (hold if $<$20), volume status, UTI symptoms, DKA risk (low in T2DM)
\item \textit{Expected benefit}: HbA1c reduction 0.5-0.8\%, reduced HF events 25-30\%
\end{itemize}
\item \textbf{TITRATE: Insulin glargine}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Current}: 24 units QHS, fasting BG averaging 165
\item \textit{Plan}: Increase by 2 units every 3 days until fasting BG 100-130, patient to self-titrate with daily phone/portal check-ins
\item \textit{Expected dose}: Likely 30-36 units
\end{itemize}
\item \textbf{OPTIMIZE: Beta-blocker (carvedilol)}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Current}: 12.5mg BID (patient reports fatigue at higher doses)
\item \textit{Plan}: Trial slow up-titration to 18.75mg BID, monitor for tolerance
\item \textit{Goal}: Target dose 25mg BID for HFrEF mortality benefit
\item \textit{Alternative}: Consider switching to different beta-blocker if intolerable
\end{itemize}
\item \textbf{CONTINUE}: ACE inhibitor (lisinopril 40mg) - at target dose
\item \textbf{CONSIDER FUTURE}: Sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto) to replace lisinopril if HF symptoms progress
\end{enumerate}
\textbf{Medication Safety}:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
\item \textbf{Polypharmacy Review}: Current medication count [X], review quarterly for deprescribing opportunities
\item \textbf{Renal Dosing}: All medications reviewed for CKD Stage 3b, adjust as needed

\item Thoughts: "I'm worthless," "Things will never get better," "I'm a burden"
\item Feelings: Hopelessness, overwhelming sadness, numbness
\item Behaviors: Isolating for days, not eating, excessive sleeping
\item Situations: Financial stress, rejection, conflict with family
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Step 2: Internal Coping Strategies} (things I can do on my own)
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
\item Go for a walk outside
\item Listen to favorite music playlist
\item Take a warm shower
\item Deep breathing exercises (5-10 minutes)
\item Read CBT thought records
\item Write in journal
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Step 3: Social Contacts for Distraction}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
\item Sister: [phone number]
\item Close friend: [phone number]
\item Former coworker: [phone number]
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Step 4: People I Can Ask for Help}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
\item Sister: [phone number] - can talk about feelings, will listen without judgment
\item Therapist: [phone number] - call for emergency appointment
\item Psychiatrist: [phone number] - after-hours answering service
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Step 5: Professionals and Agencies to Contact}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]

\item Local crisis center: [local crisis services phone]
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Step 6: Reduce Access to Lethal Means}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
\item No firearms in home
\item Medications: Sister holds extra medication supply, patient has only 1-week supply at home
\item Remove other potential means from immediate environment
\end{itemize}
\textbf{One Thing That Is Most Important to Me}:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
\item [e.g., "My relationship with my sister - I don't want to hurt her"]
\end{itemize}

\item Severe agitation or aggression toward others
\item Substance intoxication/overdose
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Provider to intervene if}:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
\item Increased suicide risk (passive → active SI, plan development)
\item Significant worsening of depression or emergence of psychotic symptoms
\item Non-adherence with safety plan
\item Relapse in substance use
