About Patient Encounter: Allergies

Path: Clinical, Practice Management, or Billing tab > Patient Chart button > Encounter > New or Open Note button > Allergies

The Allergies window is used to document medication-related and non-medication-related allergies and vaccine reactions during the patient's visit. It is also used to review the patient's documented allergies/reactions. This section of the Encounter Note is chart-driven, meaning that the information populated here is pulled from and pushed back to the same section in the Patient Chart.
