Remove an Allergy from a Patient's Chart

Use the following steps to remove an allergy from a patient's chart.

1. Open a patient's chart note.
    

2. In the chart note, click the ALRG button, and then select Add/Modify Allergies.
   
   
   
   
   NOTE: If you select the No Known Allergies or No Known Drug Allergies option, the system will generate a warning indicating all of the allergies will be overridden and removed if you choose to proceed.
   
   If you click the OK button the system will remove all allergy information and the chart note, Face Sheet, History tab, and Audit Trail will contain applicable entries for the allergies removed and the new option selected.
   
   If you click the Cancel button, you will return to the patient's chart.
   
   
   
    

3. In the Active Allergies dialog, highlight the allergy or allergies you want to remove, and then click the Remove button.
   
   NOTE: The No Known Allergies and No Known Drug Allergies entries will be automatically removed whenever a specific allergen is added to the patient's chart, therefore, they do not need to be manually removed.
   
   
   
    

4. In the Remove Reason dailog, enter any Reason you want to list for the allergen's removal, and then click the OK button.
   
   NOTE: When multiple allergies are selected for removal, the reason will be applied to all of the allergies being removed. If there are different reasons that need to be noted, then you will have to select one allergy at a time to remove.
   
   
   
    

5. The selected allergies will then be removed from the Active Allergies dialog.
   
   
   
    

6. When finished removing applicable allergies, click the OK button. The removal will only be updated in the patient's chart after the OK button has been clicked. If you close out of the dialog, or click the Cancel button, the information will revert to the previously configured information in the Active Allergies dialog.
