Fatal ODs per month
April 1st, 2022
Below is a map of fatal overdoses in 2020 and 2021, according to OCME records. The larger red circles indicate hotspots, with the size of the circle corresponding to the number of fatal overdoses occurring at that location during this time period. Unsurprisingly, the majority of deaths and hotspots are occurring in the Tenderloin and SoMA.
It might be interesting to look at these hotspots to see how many are supported housing, SIPs, Shelters, etc.

Below is an example of data showing subsequent overdoses, grouped by patient MRN. It lists the total number of encounters a person has in the firelog, as well as the unique number of each encounter listed. It also lists the disposition, followup narrative, and whether encounters were overdoses or not.

The OCME Data I have is anonymous, so it is not possible to match these data w firelog or Epic data. One possibility would be to use OME as the disposition, but this would be a huge under-representation of true fatal overdose deaths.
