This indicator includes the rate of hospitalization per 1,000 individuals estimated to have Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) for Opioid Use Disorder, Intracranial and intraspinal Abscess, Osteomyelitis, Endocarditis, Soft skin tissue infection, and Viral Hepatitis (B, C, and D) for individuals diagnosed with OUD in the same calendar year.
Analyses were completed by the University of Pittsburgh using data from the PA Health Care Cost Containment Council and in cooperation with PA DOH.
PHC4’s database contains statewide hospital discharge data submitted to PHC4 by Pennsylvania hospitals. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information obtained from the Uniform Claims and Billing Form (UB-82/92/04) data elements. Computer collection edits and validation edits provide opportunity to correct specific errors that may have occurred prior to, during or after submission of data. The ultimate responsibility for data accuracy lies with individual providers.

This information pertains to juveniles who, while under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court, were committed to out-of-home placement for a period greater than 28 days at least one time in conjunction with a juvenile delinquency disposition.
The proportion of juveniles who cases were closed and experienced a placement episode decreased in Calendar Year (CY) 2018 to 18.3% from 22.4% in 2017. At the same time, the median length of placement remained steady at 9.9 months.
This datasets represents the number and percentage of juveniles committed to out-of-home placement for 28 or more consecutive days (excluding detention, shelter care, and diagnostics placements).
This dateset is contained within the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission 2018 Statewide Juvenile Justice Outcome Measure report: this report reflects outcomes of juvenile offenders whose cases were closed during the report period and who have received a period of supervision from a county juvenile probation department. These reported outcomes are associated with community protection, accountability, and competency development.

The asset map is designed to help people implement asset-based community development and outreach, and includes data from a number of available local, state, and federal data sources.

This data set includes the estimated number of individuals in Pennsylvania with Drug Use Disorder, which is an approximation for Opioid Use Disorder prevalence. The estimates are developed by applying mortality weights derived from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics to statewide illicit drug use estimates from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH, sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).

This interactive map depicts the amount of Opium, in kilograms, seized by the Pennsylvania State Police quarterly, by county. Use the drop-down menus to select quarter and year to see the amount of Opium seized by the Pennsylvania State Police in each county. Care should be taken regarding inferences made about the location in which Opium is seized as drugs can be transient and therefore seized in areas other than their origination or destination. The Opium seizures reflected on this map may not include all active investigations by the Pennsylvania State Police.

This dataset is quarterly data by county, including inmate admissions, average Texas Christian University Drug Screen II (TCU) score, number and percent of inmate admissions who identify opioids as top three drug of choice, inmates with a substance abuse problem, and number and percent who used opioids in the year prior to admission.
This data is available starting with the first Quarter of Calendar Year 2016.

The juvenile justice system has a responsibility to protect the community from known juvenile offenders. Juveniles who do not commit a new offense while under court supervision have a higher probability of remaining crime free. This data represents the number and percentage of juveniles who successfully completed supervision without a new offense resulting in a Consent Decree, Adjudication of Delinquency, ARD, Nolo Contendere, or finding of guilt in a criminal procedure.
CY - Calendar Year

This dataset is contained within the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission’s 2018 Statewide Juvenile Justice Outcome Measure report: this report reflects outcomes of juvenile offenders whose cases were closed during the report period and who have received a period of supervision from a county juvenile probation department. These reported outcomes are associated with community protection, accountability, and competency development; three core goals of Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system.

Since 2009, county juvenile probation departments have supervised and closed 126,006 cases. The proportion of cases closed successfully (without a new offense) during this time is 84.1%. For the year 2018, the proportion of cases closed successfully was 85.4%.

This dataset contains summary information on opioid drug seizures and arrests made by Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) personnel, stationed statewide, on a quarterly basis. Every effort is made to collect and record all opioid drug seizures and arrests however, the information provided may not represent the totality of all seizures and opioid arrests made by PSP personnel.
Data is currently available from January 1, 2013 through most current data available.
Seizure
Opioids seized as a result of undercover buys, search warrants, traffic stops and other investigative encounters.
An incident is a Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) recorded violation of the Controlled Substance Act and an entry into the PSP Statistical Narcotics System.
By regulation, entry is made by the PSP as stated in PSP Administrative Regulation 9-6:
When violations of The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act are reported, the required statistical information concerning the incident shall be entered into the Statistical Narcotic Reporting System (SNRS).
Incidents may include undercover buys, search warrants, traffic stops and other investigative encounters
So, an “incident” is not based on any arrest, but on a reported violation, though it often can include arrests.
The incidents that are selected and forwarded to the portal are those that include a record of one or more seizures of the opioid drugs. In turn, a subset of those selected incidents also contains a record of one or more arrests.
This is PSP data only, it would not include any Federal case/incident data.

This indicator includes the number of days hospitalized for Opioid Use Disorder and the estimated lost wages due to hospitalization.
Analyses were completed by the University of Pittsburgh using data from the PA Health Care Cost Containment Council and in cooperation with PA DOH.
