Case StudiesOpioid & Substance Harm Surveillance
Supply changes and harm response visible against each other for the first time.
Challenge
Supply changes and harm response made visible against each other across health, medical examiner, and police data - the one view no single agency's data could produce.
What we built
We linked health administrative records with Chief Medical Examiner data and Edmonton Police Service enforcement and seizure data - placing supply changes and harm outcomes on the same timeline. Cross-sector record linkage across organizations with different identifiers, different data structures, and different legal authorities governing what they could share.
The model
Outcome
Supply changes and harm response visible against each other for the first time.
