Here’s how to add allergies to a person's chart effectively.

  1. Navigate to the person history tab in the patient's chart. Locate the allergies section.
  2. You will see any existing allergies listed. To add a new allergy, select the "new" option.
  3. Enter the name of the allergy in the designated field.
  4. Choose the reaction associated with the allergy from the provided options.
  5. If known, input the start date of the allergy. If not, you can use today's date.
  6. Confirm that you are in the correct person's chart before proceeding.
  7. Select the type of allergen from the following categories: biologic, environmental, food, or medication. For this example, we will choose a medication response.
  8. If the allergy has an end date (if it has resolved), you can enter that as well. If it is ongoing, leave this field blank.
  9. You have the option to save the entry. Choose "save," "save a new," or "cancel." For this instance, select "save a new" to add another allergy.
  10. If you wish to add a food allergy, repeat the process. Enter the allergy name, select the type, and if known, provide the start date.
  11. After entering the food allergy, select "Save" to finalize the addition.
  12. To review all entered allergies, return to the person history section of the patient's chart. You will see all allergies listed there.

By following these straightforward instructions, healthcare providers can ensure that a patient's allergy information is accurately recorded and easily accessible.
