**
**  Recommendation #8
**    Before starting and periodically during continuation of opioid therapy, clinicians should 
**    evaluate risk for opioid-related harms and discuss risk with patients. Clinicians should 
**    work with patients to incorporate into the management plan strategies to mitigate risk, 
**    including offering naloxone (recommendation category: A; evidence type: 4).
**
**  When
**    Order for opioid analgesics with ambulatory misuse potential:
**    Opioid review is useful for this patient:
**      Patient is 18 or over
**      Patient does not have evidence of sickle cell disease
**      Patient does not have findings indicating limited life expectancy
**      Patient does not have orders for therapies indicating end of life care
**      Patient is not undergoing active cancer treatment:
**        Patient has had at least 2 office visits within the past 12 months with an oncology specialist present, or
**        Patient has had at least 2 office visits within the past 12 months with a CDC malignant cancer condition diagnosis
**      Patient does not have conditions likely terminal for opioid prescribing present
**    Patient is not currently prescribed naloxone medications
**    Factors that increase risk for opioid overdose are present:
**      Currently receiving benzodiazepine or other central nervous system depressant medications, or
**      High opioid dosages (MME/day >= 50), or
**      History of substance use disorder, or
**      Diagnosed with sleep-disordered breathing condition
**  Then
**    Incorporate Risk Mitigation Strategies Into Opioid Therapy:
**      Order - Order naxalone
**      Document - Risk mitigation strategy implemented, snooze 3 months
**      Snooze - N/A see comment, snooze 3 months

**MME Calculator Cautions**
1) All doses are in mg/day except for fentanyl, which is mcg/hr. 
2) Equianalgesic dose conversions are only estimates and cannot account for individual variability in genetics and pharmacokinetics. 
3) Do not use the calculated dose in MMEs to determine the doses to use when converting one opioid to another; when converting opioids, the new opioid is typically dosed at a substantially lower dose than the calculated MME dose to avoid overdose because of incomplete cross-tolerance and individual variability in opioid pharmacokinetics. Consult the FDA approved product labeling for specific guidance on medications. 
4) Use particular caution with methadone dose conversions because methadone has a long and variable half-life, and peak respiratory depressant effect occurs later and lasts longer than peak analgesic effect. 
5) Use particular caution with transdermal fentanyl because it is dosed in mcg/hr instead of mg/day, and its absorption is affected by heat and other factors. 
6) Buprenorphine products approved for the treatment of pain are not included in the table because of their partial µ-receptor agonist activity and resultant ceiling effects compared with full µ-receptor agonists. 
7) These conversion factors should not be applied to dosage decisions related to the management of opioid use disorder.
† Tapentadol is a µ-receptor agonist and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. MMEs are based on degree of µ-receptor agonist activity; however, it is unknown whether tapentadol is associated with overdose in the same dose-dependent manner as observed with medications that are solely µ-receptor agonists.
§ Tramadol is a µ-receptor agonist and norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor. MMEs are based on degree of µ-receptor agonist activity; however, it is unknown whether tramadol is associated with overdose in the same dose-dependent manner as observed with medications that are solely µ-receptor agonists.'
