Indiana's Data-Driven Fight Against Opioid Addiction: Insights from Darshan Shah and Doug Huntsinger

By being able to create that platform, we're able to create that foundation by which all the data was able to come into and be able to share it among the different groups, because you don't always realize which data points and which view and which window is going to be the most beneficial to be able to target specific problems.
Ever wondered how big data can be a game-changer in the battle against opioid addiction? In this episode of the Cover2 Resources podcast, Greg McNeil chats with Darshan Shah, Indiana's Chief Data Officer, and Doug Huntsinger, the Special Assistant for Drug Prevention, Treatment, & Enforcement at Governor Holcomb’s Office. They delve into how Indiana's Management and Performance Hub (MPH) is revolutionizing policy decisions through data analytics.
By pooling data from various agencies, the MPH creates a comprehensive view that helps in making informed decisions to combat substance use disorder. You'll hear about successes like the strategic stockpiling of naloxone and tackling complex logistical issues. But it's not all smooth sailing; there are hurdles too, such as restrictions on data sharing between certain agencies. The episode wraps up with a powerful call-to-action, urging listeners to seek treatment and join anti-stigma campaigns.
Tune in for a fascinating look at how data is being harnessed to save lives.
