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.
