CDC Opioid Guideline

The CDC Opioid Prescribing Guideline Mobile Application (App) serves as a quick reference guide for healthcare professionals to help apply the recommendations of the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain in clinical practice. The tool is intended to educate providers about the prescription opioid overdose epidemic and to inform clinical decision-making related to initiation, titration, and dosage safety when prescribing opioids.

Does Not put in new cdc guidelines put out in 2019 since it hasnt been updated since mid 2018! Major problem is doctors are using this app for chronic pain patients & its not properly valid since cdc had to amend tapering of said pain relievers. Again cdc is failing to up keep there mistakes & fixing it in real time.

Are mme iv or po? Makes a leeetle difference, and this is the official CDC public policy App that's used to make docs & patients defacto enemies of The State and subject to prosecution.

I'd be banned from the play store if I relayed my actual opinion of this app.

Definitely room for improvement. Not all of the formularies and preparations are shown, including extended release and IV. I know that IV preps are not really used for chronic pain, but these would be useful for any clinician in the hospital setting or for those with patients who were recently hospitalized. It would also be very helpful to include conversion calculations. I noticed there is a disclaimer for cross- tolerance and we would need to adjust accordingly but this would still be very useful to have.

Mostly very weak data used in making this, is skewed by conflicts of interests with addiction rehab insiders to increase their businesses not to help patients. Doctors all over America are abandoning patients and closing practices due to the threats of the cdc and dea. Hundreds kill themselves every week due directly to these so valled guidlines but are really prohibition laws to be followed or you lose your medical license.

It closes everytime you touch the screen and you have to keep pulling it back up, some serious bugs in this app

What good is an opioid calculator that doesn't have tramadol on it? Thank God they gave us tapentadol, though. Also, you have to use their predetermined quantities. What if a patient is using more? This is garbage.

The calculator is easy enough, but Tramadol is not on the list at all.
