ODMAP Overview Substance use disorder is a disease that has affected every region of the United States. Many parts of the nation have recently witnessed a dramatic increase in heroin and other opioids, and as a result, rates of fatal and non-fatal opioid overdoses have exponentially increased to crisis levels. Combating this issue requires aggressive detection and surveillance of this disease. In an effort to detect a sudden increase in drug overdoses, the W/B HIDTA created ODMAP. ODMAP uses a web service accessible through a smart phone or computer to allow first responders to report suspected fatal and non-fatal overdose incidents. The location, date, and time of the incidents are transmitted to the W/B HIDTA secure map server and plotted on an electronic map. The electronic map allows participating agencies to visualize overdose incidents. ODMAP data can be filtered using location, date, time, incident type and user information to give participating agencies the ability to identify overdose spikes not only in their jurisdiction, but also in other jurisdictions. ODMAP data resides on secure servers located in Baltimore, Maryland. The COUNTY OF FRESNO, a Political Subdivision of the State of California, Fresno, California COUNTY OF FRESNO Agreement No. 21-428 2 Goals of ODMAP: 1. To provide a near real-time drug overdose surveillance of known and suspected overdose events occurring nationwide using a specialized program (ODMAP) accessed by mobile devices and computers to collect overdose event information. 2. To collect and upload the approximated geographic locations of known and suspected overdose events to ODMAP so Participating Agencies can use this data to identify overdose occurrences and spikes in near real-time. 3. To provide liaison, coordination, and resource assistance in the collection, storage, exchange, dissemination, and analysis of ODMAP data for Participating Agencies. 4. To enable Participating Agencies to develop effective strategies for addressing overdose incidents occurring in their jurisdictions. 5. To enhance the development of regional strategies designed to prevent the spread of substance use disorders resulting in overdose incidents. Purpose 1. To give approved Participating Agencies technology that will allow them to report overdose incidents in near real time. 2.
