CODE Opioid-Calculation Evaluation

Completed evaluation findings and the current formal CODE research protocol.

CODE Evaluation

CODE (Calculator for Opioid Dose Education) is the PalliCalc opioid-conversion workflow. The completed randomized educational evaluation compared CODE-assisted calculation with conventional methods.

86%Post-test calculation accuracy with CODE
72%Post-test calculation accuracy with conventional methods
p = 0.041Reported difference in post-test calculation accuracy
63% vs 48%Post-test confidence, CODE vs conventional
These findings describe calculation performance and confidence in the completed educational evaluation, not direct patient clinical outcomes.

Formal CODE Trial Protocol

Title: The CODE Trial (Calculator for Opioid Dose Education): Evaluating the Efficacy of a Localized Digital Opioid Calculator Tool on Opioid Conversion Accuracy and Clinician Confidence Among Doctors and Pharmacists.

Clinical Workflow

CODE supports institution-configurable opioid conversion, multi-opioid aggregation, route-specific conversion, maintenance dosing, breakthrough/PRN calculations, cross-tolerance prompts and other safety checks described in the project documentation.
