The MME calculator is expressed using Clinical Quality Language (CQL) and can be applied to Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). A use case for this calculator is the 2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline Recommendation #8, which suggests that providers incorporate strategies to mitigate opioid therapy risks, including offering naloxone, when overdose risk such as “patients taking higher dosages of opioids (e.g., ≥50 MME/day)” is identified.
