Subject: Allergen alerts

The following message was added to PULSE announcements in case you get questions:

 

If allergens are adjusted to be ‘intolerance’ or ‘side effect,’ clinical alerts will not prompt users of potential drug-allergen interactions.  Please leave allergens as ‘allergies’ to allow the system to trigger clinical alerts to provide maximum safety for our patients. 

 

Additional information 
An example of where allergies were adjusted by a prescriber to 'intolerance' incorrectly: 





Some suggested changes will be presented at a future Policy & Procedure meeting concerning who should list or when to change an allergen to intolerance or side effect. 

Let myself or Michele Durda know if you have questions.
