You can document allergy details of a patient.

Before you begin

    The age-specific allergies template opens.
  3. Select the applicable check boxes, and then select the associated reaction from the corresponding list.
  4. If the patient's allergy information is not available on the template, select Manage Allergies and document the allergy details.
  5. If you want to document the allergy severity and additional details, select Manage Allergies.
    A message appears indicating to confirm if you want to add the selected allergy to the Medication Allergies module.
  6. If you want to add the allergy record without additional details, select Save & Close.
