Examples of how New Hampshire is working to prevent overdose
Enhanced prescription drug monitoring program reports
New Hampshire enhanced their quarterly prescriber reports from a static PDF to an interactive format, allowing prescribers to better analyze patient prescription histories and provide prescriber peer comparisons. These reports have also been integrated into the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program system to help program staff better evaluate data within the reports.
Opioid overdose data for city level actions
New Hampshire delivers state and county-level non-fatal drug overdose information from Automated Hospital Emergency Discharge Data, the state's syndromic surveillance system, to the CDC monthly. These data are also provided monthly to the cities of Manchester and Nashua. These cities use this information to take timely outreach and prevention actions in neighborhoods in need of the most urgent attention for harm reduction and linkage to care services.
