Substance misuse is a complex and heterogeneous set of conditions associated with high mortality and regional/demographic variations. Existing data systems are siloed and have been ineffective in curtailing the substance misuse epidemic. Therefore, we aimed to build a novel informatics platform, the Substance Misuse Data Commons (SMDC), by integrating multiple data modalities to provide a unified record of information crucial to improving outcomes in substance misuse patients.
