If you are MAGIC, use the new 1B allergy model. Nurses can then enter coded allergies by calling the RXM routine and every drug is in there and can be looked up by the Trade name. There is also only one allergy (no class,generic, etc.) to pick. It is all NDC number based and works well. We currently have FDB as our vendor.

(Allergy/Adverse Reactions screen- For Interaction Checking) I would be interested in speaking with anyone who is currently doing this. Our pharmacist is asking that we enter allergies as ingredient allergies when available. We are concerned about our process we may need to implement that will help the user when they are not able to find what they need. The first option is to call the pharmacy, however we do not have a 24 hour pharmacy. We have an evening Pharmacy Service we can contact which would be our 2nd option. Our Nursing Director has concerns about how much time we may be adding to the nurses workload. We will be looking at creating some type of cross reference for very common allergies that need to be addressed outside of the 'ingredient' world. A quick reference, but obviously we won't be able to cover every scenario. Any thoughts, suggestions, and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
