Department of Mental Health asks for more oversight for others and less for itself - Mississippi Today When Department of Mental Health Executive Director Wendy Bailey discussed a Mississippi bill to require audits for community mental health centers in January in the Senate Accountability, Efficiency, Transparency committee, she told lawmakers the performance audits would help them learn more about the health needs of the state. But Bailey failed to say she wanted less oversight for the her department.

Naloxone Use and Outcomes in Prehospital and Emergency Department Care Background Opioid toxicity remains a major public health concern in Canada, which is driven by potent synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Naloxone is the antidote for opioid toxicity and can be given in a variety of routes and dosages. Naloxone is administered by bystanders, first responders, emergency medical services (EMS), and emergency physicians. Despite its widespread use, there are limited local data on its administration in the prehospital and emergency department (ED) settings, as well as on its associated outcomes. Materials and methods This was a retrospective review study of patients presenting to a tertiary care ED in 2024 who had a discharge diagnostic code β€œpoison narcotics” and received naloxone. Prehospital and ED charts were reviewed to collect demographics, naloxone dose, route, number of doses, reversal success, disposition, and opioid agonist therapy (OAT) initiation and referral. Descriptive statistics were used, and Fisher’s exact test was used to compare outcomes between single and multiple naloxone doses. Results Thirty-three patients met the inclusion criteria (mean age 40.4 years; 33.3% female). Naloxone was administered prehospital in 93.9% of cases, with 60.6% receiving naloxone prior to EMS arrival.Β Prehospital reversal success was 83.9%. EMS administered naloxone to 54.5% of patients at various dosages and routes. Seven patients required naloxone in the ED, and two needed an ICU admission. There were no deaths. Only 6.25% of patients were started on or referred for OAT, none directly following opioid toxicity reversal. There was no significant difference in reversal success or disposition between those who received single versus multiple doses of naloxone. Conclusions Most cases were successfully reversed prior to ED arrival, and many were managed by first responders and bystanders, highlighting the importance of public education and access to intranasal naloxone. Low rates of OAT initiation underscore the need to prevent barriers to treatment following an ED visit.
