Opioid Management Terminology Knowledge Base Logic for use in implementing CDC Opioid Prescribing Guidelines.

This library normalizes units to UCUM units, identifies the conversion factor for the given ingredient, identifies the non-surgical opioid ingredients and their strengths that make up a drug identified by the given rxNormCode, calculates daily dose for a specific ingredient based on the ingredient strength, dose form, dose quantity, and daily frequency, calculates daily frequency given frequency within a period, and calculates the Morphine Milligram Equivalency (MME) for a given prescription.
