The following table provides a summary of some of the key features of the Allergies module.
Feature | Summary |
Allergies Icon |
An Allergies icon displays in the patient header based on the information made available from the contributing source systems. The following Allergy icons may display in the patient’s record:
|
Coded |
This column displays Coded Allergies as Yes or No. Coded allergies are those contained within the allergen dictionary look up from the contributing sources system and will display Y (Yes) in the column. Allergy information that is “uncoded” is any free text additions made available from the contributing sources system and will display N (No) in the column. |
Smart Filter |
Text typed in the Smart Filter Search box narrows the list of results to display only those related to text you entered. In the example below, the Smart Filter Search box was used to narrow the list of allergies to display only Morphine or Codeine. The user entered morph, cod which will search the allergies list grid for any text that included morph OR cod. All other results were filtered out and do not display in the products list view until the contents of the Smart Filter are cleared. See the Smart Filter section to learn more about filtering results and lists with the Smart Filter tool. |
