ANNOUNCEMENT!

The Maryland Department of Health has released a new, enhanced Overdose Data Dashboard! The new dashboard can be accessed at Health.Maryland.Gov/dataoffice/Pages/mdh-dashboards.aspx. 

The new dashboard will be updated monthly and includes new features and capabilities, including:

• Unified Data: The dashboard combines data on fatal overdoses, non-fatal emergency department visits, and EMS naloxone administrations. Users can search this data by zip code.

• Timely Data Updates: The dashboard provides the most current data available, reducing the data release period from 90 to 30 days. This allows for more proactive monitoring and response.

• Historical Trend Analysis: The dashboard provides historical data at the jurisdictional level, enabling the analysis of community trends over time.

• Demographic Insights: The dashboard provides insights across age, race and gender for targeted overdose responses across jurisdictions.

Similar to the previous version, the new dashboard also incorporates data on opioid-related emergency department visits as well as information from emergency medical services and their administration of the opioid overdose reversal medication, naloxone. The new dashboard also provides more recent overdose data than was previously available to help inform local-level programming.
