The Allergy chart tab will allow a user to add a new allergy to the patient's active allergy list.
Steps
- Search for a patient and open that patient's chart in the EMR.
- Click the Allergies chart tab.
- The patient's active Allergy list will display.
- To search for an allergy, begin typing the name of the allergy into the search box. Or, click on the dropdown to the right of the search box - this will display the most commonly used allergies across your patient population.
- Select the allergy from the search list and enter the necessary details.
- Click OK
- Click Save. If you have auto-saved turned on, you can simply move to the next chart tab.

The allergy list allows users to add non-codified allergies to a patients allergy list. If you would like to prevent non-codified allergies from being added, consider modifying the following company setting: EMR Codified Allergy Required
