The app charts patient pain scores on the same timeline as inpatient opioid administration to improve analgesic management and to rationalize discharge opioid needs. By converting all administered opioids to Morphine MilliEquivalent dosing, a clear picture emerges of total opioid use through the entire inpatient stay.
After extensive testing and validation by Dr. Richard Kim and his colleagues in Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, this app is now discoverable by all providers regardless of clinical speciality.
