Allergy Master List 

The master allergy list contains the allergies that can be added to a Patient Allergy List.

In the Main Menu, click Setup, EHR, Allergies.

Allergies are listed alphabetically.  To show allergies marked hidden, check the Show Hidden box.

Click Add, or double click an allergy to edit.

Description:  The name of the allergy.

EHR Fields:  These fields are used for EHR.  Most non-EHR offices can ignore.

• Allergy Type: A value is required in order for the allergy to list on a CCD (Summary of Care, Electronic Copy, Clinical Summary). 
• Allergen:  Only one value (UNII or Medication) can be entered, not both.
  • UNII: Used for ingredient allergies (e.g. latex, peanuts).  Enter a UNII to show this allergy on the CCD.  Must be manually entered as a 10 character, uppercase, alphanumeric code. 
  • Medication: Click [...] to select from the Medication Master List.  To show on a CCD, medication allergies must be associated with medications that have an RxNorm.  Click None to clear the box.
    

Is Hidden:  Check the box to hide the allergy so it can't be selected for other patients.  It will continue to show for patients already using it.
