Allergies - STD Module

In the STD module, the Allergies form under History is where you record the patient's history of allergies and adverse reactions.

On the main menu navigate to History > Allergies.

The Allergy information entered on this form is saved in OrderConnect. For existing allergies the type, severity, and reaction information is supplied by OrderConnect.
Deactivating an allergy on this form effectively deletes the allergy. You would need to reenter the allergy to have it appear in the list.
Click an allergy in the grid and it expands to show details, as in the following example.
