Document New Allergies for a Patient
- 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 check boxes 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 panes.
