Your Monthly Med Safety Tip from APMS:
Safety Tip: Allergy Documentation and Verification
Incomplete or outdated allergy information contributes to preventable harm.
Verify allergies at every patient encounter.
Document reaction type, not just "allergy".
Distinguish side effects from true allergies.
Does your system support meaningful clinical decision-making?
