Overdose Fatality Review (OFR)

What We Do

OCHD leads the county’s Overdose Fatality Review (OFR) Team alongside OMH, numerous county, city, and healthcare partners. The OFR Team reviews substance use overdose deaths in Onslow County to determine what services individuals accessed prior to their death. A death review (also referred to as a “case review”) examines a decedent’s life cycle in terms of drug use history, comorbidity, major health events, social-emotional trauma (including adverse childhood experiences), encounters with law enforcement and criminal justice system, treatment history, and other factors including local conditions to facilitate a deeper understanding of the missed opportunities for prevention and intervention that may have prevented an overdose death. Blending input from public health, public safety, providers, and the community, the OFR Team seeks to identify trends in substance use overdose deaths and make recommendations on how to prevent future overdose deaths.
