3:20 The police department in Springfield, Massachusetts and the city’s health department are looking to share information they hope could prevent opioid deaths. If public health department professionals could get the names and home addresses of people who have survived drug overdoses from the police, they could do outreach with referrals to treatment and counseling programs and supply family members with overdose reversal medications, perhaps saving countless lives. But laws that protect the privacy of people who interact with the police and the healthcare system stand in the way of such a simple exchange of information. Nonetheless discussions are underway to see if there is a legal avenue for collaboration, according to Health and Human Services Commissioner Helen Caulton-Harris.
