AI Summary
This bill requires the Washington state Department of Health to develop a digital interface connecting two existing systems: the Washington Emergency Medical Services Information System and the Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program. The purpose of this interface is to provide comprehensive access to fatal and nonfatal overdose information for law enforcement agencies and emergency service providers across the state. To protect individual privacy, the overdose data will be aggregated by zip code, ensuring compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. By creating this centralized information-sharing platform, the bill aims to improve situational awareness and strategic response capabilities for agencies dealing with the ongoing overdose crisis, allowing them to better understand overdose patterns and trends in their local areas.
