Simcoe Muskoka Opioid Surveillance Dashboard
The Simcoe Muskoka Opioid Surveillance Dashboard (clicking this link will open a new window with the dashboard) is an interactive tool that presents the most recent available data on suspected drug overdose emergency visits and suspected drug-related deaths in Simcoe Muskoka. While not all suspected drug overdose emergency visits and suspected drug-related deaths are due to opioid use, increases in these measures can be an early warning for surges in opioid-related overdoses.
The health unit monitors these indicators weekly to help determine if opioid overdoses are higher than expected when compared with the current trends, and if actions are warranted. Data in the dashboard are updated weekly, usually on Thursday afternoon.
