The ongoing opioid epidemic puts Tennessee at high-risk for experiencing an outbreak of fatal or nonfatal overdoses. In this scenario-based interdisciplinary exercise, your community will identify and respond to an increase in opioid-related overdoses by communicating with key partners and determining roles and responsibilities. THA has partnered with TDH to offer a complimentary Opioid Outbreak Response Tabletop Exercise in 8 locations.
Participants will learn how to:
- Apply outbreak response methods to opioid overdoses
- Communicate with key community partners involved in an opioid overdose outbreak response
- Describe surveillance sources and stakeholders involved in identifying and responding to opioid overdoses
- Identify roles and responsibilities for community partners during an opioid overdose outbreak
