What's Happening?

Together with NE DHHS, NPHL began the Opioid Biosurveillance Program in May.

This program is designed to detect compounds, including fentanyl, associated with a non-fatal overdose event. This data is currently not being generated in most clinical laboratory settings.

Currently, our partners in this program are Nebraska Medicine and CHI Health.
