Case Study: SPOT improves safe opioid prescribing with Waracle

Spot reduces prescribing errors with Waracle, boosting clinician confidence by 98%

Spot, a healthcare initiative founded by Dr. Roger Flint, faced the challenge of ensuring the safe prescription of highly effective but potentially dangerous opioid medications. They partnered with Waracle to empower clinicians with a tool that could validate complex prescription decisions and eliminate dosage miscalculations that could cause patient harm.

Waracle developed a mobile application featuring a bespoke database and algorithm to calculate and validate opioid doses, triggering alarms for unsafe prescriptions. This solution resulted in a clear reduction in prescribing errors, freed up valuable clinician time, and gave users more confidence. In a survey, 98% of clinicians found the Waracle-built SPOT tool beneficial to their medical practice and patient safety.
