SUMMARY:Using Data Analytics to Combat the Evolving Opioid Crisis
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nThe CDC has categorized the rapid rise in opioid overdose deaths in three waves. The first wave began with an increase in opioid prescribing in the 1990s, the second started in 2010 with a surge of heroin-related deaths, and the third arrived in 2013 with the rapid growth of synthetic opioids. A fourth wave of opioid deaths is now sweeping through states, one borne out of the social isolation, economic stress, and disrupted access to substance use disorder treatment. Provisional data from the CDC indicates that drug overdose deaths reached a record high of 93,331 in 2020 and saw the largest single-year percentage increase in deaths since 1999. Although governments have made tremendous investments in preventive strategies, harm mitigation efforts, and treatment resources, the opioid epidemic continues to grow and evolve. The shift from prescription drugs toward fentanyl analogues and increasing polysubstance use have forced governments to rapidly rethink their approaches to monitoring the crisis and engaging individuals into care. Data and analytics offer powerful tools to begin to turn the tide of the epidemic. During this session SAS will discuss how data integration and actionable analytics can empower governments to proactively monitor drug use and supply trends, identify individuals at risk, and ultimately save lives.\nSpecifically, we will:\n•Show the power of data visualization to monitor health impacts of the opioid crisis, including Hepatitis C infections and infectious endocarditis hospitalizations.\n•Highlight the utility of analytic tools to monitor various facets of the epidemic and guide harm reduction and treatment strategies; and\n•Demonstrate the importance of integrating disparate data, including law enforcement and PDMP data, to holistically understand risk and improve health outcomes.\n\n\n\n
