DC Overdose Response Allocation
DORA
Governance, Privacy & Equity how this prototype is kept controlled, transparent & accountable ▾
Data Scope
Uses aggregate, synthetic, community-level (ward) data only. No individual records, no patient names, no addresses, no protected health information (PHI), no EHR data.
Transparency
The risk score is a documented weighted index, not a black box. The main drivers are always shown, and weights & tier thresholds are explicit policy choices you can see and adjust.
Equity
Leading operational signals (overdose trend, EMS, drug supply) are weighted above neighborhood vulnerability, so an area is not flagged for priority response mainly for being poor.
Accountability
A human reviews and authorizes every alert before it is sent. The tool is a decision-support layer; it does not take automated action on its own.
Role & Limits
Demonstrates a public health workflow, not an operational system. It does not replace Epic, Oracle/Cerner, hospital EHRs, health information exchanges, consent systems, or agency databases.
Not For
No individual risk scores. No criminal-justice targeting or law-enforcement use. Not a validated clinical or epidemiological model.
