We are 5.5 sr2 and are using the allergens dictionary. All users that enter allergies enter them as coded allergies - nursing (IP, OP, ED), radiology and pharmacy. We didn't want duplication and allergies in 2 places with the potential to not transcribe one.
Carol Carol Stieve Project Manager, Information Resources Alexian Brothers Health System 847.812.8744 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> "Charlie Downs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/18/07 10:17 AM >>> Denise - Remember, allergens are only pharmacy in 5.5. Meditech says that in 5.6, one will have the option of everyone using allergens and the same allergy database. I haven't actually seen this yet, so I'm just going on what I was told. So, we are only using allergens in pharmacy instead of generic, class, and ingredient. And, so far, Meditech has only done this for FDB customers. Hope this answers your question.
