LSS Hints: Confirm Allergies

Everytime a patient visits the clinic, the allergies should be confirmed.  To do this, from the almost any screen in the patients chart, select the blue i icon in the patient summary window at the top of the screen.  This is to the left of the Allergy/ADR text.  This will open up the Allergy Managment screen.

Now, select the Process toggle button to enter the allergy list screen.  Click and highlight the allergies that you have reviewed.  Now click the Confirm footer button.  This will change the date in the Verified column to today's date, to indicate you have reviewed the allergies.

Do not select Verify as this will not update the date.

Now select the Done footer button to save your changes and return to the previous screen present before entering the allergy management function.
