McKinsey generates data-driven insights, provides expertise, and develops and implements advanced analytics and other technology to help our clients and society combat the opioid crisis.
We aspire to increase awareness, inform strategy development, and improve the efficacy of intervention. Our research, capabilities, and client work spans prevention and treatment in both the private and public sector. While many patients benefit from opioids to combat pain in appropriate situations, and progress has been made in understanding the epidemic, much work remains.
McKinsey’s Opioids Insights is focused on three approaches. First, we are investing in research, the results of which we will share broadly. Second, we regularly convene stakeholders from across the healthcare ecosystem to share insights and collaborate, when appropriate. Last, we are partnering with public and private institutions that are open to providing access to their data, so that we can apply advanced analytics to surface even greater insight and improve the efficacy of high-priority interventions.
