Set of initiatives aims to spot patterns in overdoses and deliver Naloxone more quickly
The county is doubling down on fentanyl-fighting resources as overdose deaths continue to climb.
Dr. Cameron Kaiser, deputy public health officer for the county, said in a recent briefing that more person power is needed to sort through near-real-time data coming in from paramedics and other first responders throughout the region to determine where batches of fentanyl-laced drugs are threatening lives.
The key, he added, is receiving and analyzing information on possible overdoses as quickly as possible. Doing so, he said, provides an opportunity to act.
