Data Limitations
• Jefferson County Dispatch-assigned overdose/poison incident calls are an indicator of the community problem. However, dispatch overdose/poison incident assignments do not take into account the number of calls out for psychiatric, cardiac, respiratory, and other conditions where the cause may be eventually overdose/poison-determined. Dispatch-assigned calls are not amended for true conditions after-the-fact. There are likely greater numbers of actual overdose cases than those captured in the CAD system. Likewise, overdose/poison calls could be an allergic reaction to a legally prescribed drug.
• Hospital inpatient and ED data could only be obtained from Samaritan Medical Center. However, because SMC experiences the highest volume of cases, it is felt this data is a good indication of community activity.
