Washington SB5933 facilitates rapid sharing of overdose mapping information to prevent overdoses.
Washington SB5933 establishes a statewide electronic emergency medical services data system to collect and analyze data on drug overdoses. The Department of Health must submit overdose incident information to the overdose detection mapping application program. This includes the date, location, medication administered, and fatality status. The bill aims to provide near real-time drug overdose analysis, prevent accidental overdoses, and enable collaboration among local, regional, and state agencies. The data collected will not be used for law enforcement purposes.
