View Allergies

This topic provides information about viewing allergies in Oracle Health EHR.

After opening the patient chart, you can view the patient's allergy or allergies from the following locations:

1. The Allergies section in the patient panel.
2. The Allergies section in the patient's chart.
3. The Allergies page. To access the Allergies page:
   1. From the patient panel, select the Allergies link.
   2. From the patient's chart, select the Allergies heading.
4. Allergies are displayed in the following tabs if an allergy is recorded:
   1. Active
   2. Canceled
   3. Proposed
   4. Resolved
5. The following information is displayed next to the allergy:
   1. The severity badge.
   2. The patient's reactions, category, and the type of allergy.
   3. Information about who reviewed the allergy.

   Note:

   In Oracle Health EHR, you cannot edit a custom allergy substance from PowerChart (PowerChart.exe); however, you can cancel or resolve the allergy. Likewise, you cannot edit a custom reaction for an allergy from PowerChart, but you can delete the reaction, if needed.

   You can view external sources by selecting Modify Allergy. The source information for an allergy that originated outside of Oracle Health EHR is displayed under the substance title. Select one of the sources to display more details about that external source.

   Note:

   External Staged Data cards are displayed in the Needs Attention panel. Once the data is reconciled in PowerChart, the card is removed from the Needs Attention panel.
