TxCOPE

TxCOPE, or Texans Connecting Overdose Prevention Efforts, gives harm reduction organizations
in Texas a safe, confidential way to report an overdose quickly, track supply distribution, and
view safer use and mental health resources with their clients. The TxCOPE platform includes
features such as interactive data dashboards, heat maps, fentanyl spike alerts, and supply
distribution tracking. Join us in saving lives by helping to improve data-driven community
outreach efforts in the State of Texas.  
  
Main Features: 
  
Report an Overdose: 
· The Overdose Incident Report form allows the community to anonymously report
information about overdose incidents when they occur in real time. This allows harm
reduction organizations and service providers to have near real-time data to
inform community outreach efforts and have better data to inform advocacy initiatives and
funding applications to better serve our communities. 
  
Supply Distribution/Inventory Tracking: 
· Supplies going in and out are plotted on a map which can help with planning outreach more
effectively. Use our distribution trends page to effectively show impact trends that your
organization has in your community. TxCOPE also has a kit building feature to help stay on
top of everything in your inventory even when items are grouped together in separate
bags. 
  
Data Dashboard: 
· View all your organization’s data using our pre-built graphs and heatmaps. If there are other
harm reduction organizations in your community who use TxCOPE you will be able to see
aggregated information about the overdoses they entered as well. You may also export all

of your organization’s data to .csv format to build custom reports for your grant
applications, organization funders, or newsletters. 
  
Spike Alerts: 
· Using our spike alert feature, your organization can create custom alerts to be informed
when there is a sudden increase in overdoses in your community. You may use these alerts
to inform your clients about bad batches of substances circulating in your community. 
 
Language Toggle: 
· Jump from English to Spanish at any point while using the platform. You may even toggle
back and forth during a report if you want to read the questions aloud in Spanish, but then
see the answers in English. 
  
Privacy/Security: 
· The Overdose Incident Report form is anonymous and we do not require any identifying
information. Further, TxCOPE is HIPAA compliant and has undergone rigorous security
testing through The University of Texas to ensure protection of sensitive data.
