Home Forums Discussions Problems Adding Allergies

How can one go about adding an allergy without opening the chart again and generating a note? As if you were updating an allergy list.

Thanks!

This needs to be fixed in the next AC version. It has been a problem since the earliest versions. See this post and this one too. You can't edit the "Allergies" except when you sign and save an encounter.

Agree. Many of us have complained about this for several years.

The only workaround I have for me is to add a scrip with a period and followed by new allergies, eg .New allergy amoxicillin. Then I add it the next office visit. I also use this method to mark the name of the patients pharmacy - works good in small town, eg. .Smith Drug, etc.

I hope as Jon develops the e-prescribing that will get better as one of the requirements is allergy and formulary checking - makes you enter allergies as one that is preentered, eg PCN, SULFA, etc.
