You can document allergy information for a patient.
- Open NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
- In the Allergies panel on the Intake template, if the patient reports a new allergy since the last visit, click Add.
The
Adult Allergies template opens.
- Select the applicable checkboxes and then select the associated reaction from the corresponding list.
- Click Save & Close.
- (Optional) Click the Allergies added today option.
If the patient's allergy is not available in the
Adult Allergies template, click
Update in the
Allergies panel to open the Allergies module and document the patient's allergies.
In the Allergies panel, the Comment link opens the Allergy Comments template to add any additional information on the documented allergies. You must not enter patient allergies manually in the Allergy Comments template. Enter all allergies in the Allergies module.
Note: If the Joint Commission standards are enabled, document allergy information after entering whether the patient is new or established along with the Visit type and Historian. After documenting allergies, continue entering information for the other panels.
