Opioid MME Calculator
Description
This skill provides a structured way to calculate total daily MME using CDC conversion factors and safety cautions. It is a support tool and does not replace clinical judgment or patient-specific considerations.
Quick Reference
| Use | Purpose |
|---|---|
| MME calculation | Standardize opioid dose comparisons and monitor risk |
Interactive Mode (Lightweight)
Use this mode when the clinician asks to calculate MME step-by-step.
- Confirm readiness and the target time period (current daily regimen).
- Collect one medication at a time: name, route, dose, and frequency.
- Clarify PRN vs scheduled dosing and any long-acting vs short-acting formulations.
- Calculate per-opioid MME and then total daily MME.
- Summarize results and reference safety cautions.
