HHS roundtable highlights priorities for applying data to the opioid crisis

FedScoop: A major objective for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is applying data to what may be America’s most urgent public health crisis: the nationwide opioid epidemic. In December 2017, the HHS Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) hosted an Opioid Symposium and Code-a-Thon, where teams used government data to develop innovative tools and platforms that tackle the opioid crisis in different ways.

Building on this momentum, the HHS Office of the CTO and the nonprofit Center for Open Data Enterprise (CODE) co-hosted a Roundtable on Data Sharing Policies, Data-Driven Solutions, and the Opioid Crisis in July 2018. CODE has just released its report on this event, which brought together over 70 experts from federal, state, and local government, the private sector, nonprofits and academia.
