Reimagining Opioid-Related Incidents: Massachusetts EMS Takes a New Approach

Join us for the next PCRF Journal Club as we review a 7-year study aimed at redefining and categorizing these opioid-related incidents utilizing a validated algorithm with the goal of helping EMS providers better understand the nature of these incidents, improve their ability to respond effectively and inform public health strategies to address the opioid epidemic.
