Removing Allergies

Note: These steps can be used to remove allergies from the active allergies list. These allergies are then stored in the Inactive list. Allergies remain in the database for tracking purposes.

1.   If you haven't already, go to the Allergies module.

2.   Click the allergy you want to remove from the displayed list. The LMR displays details for that allergy. (You can also click the check box preceding the allergy name to remove multiple allergies at one time.)

3.   Click Inactive.

4.   If you are removing all allergies, the LMR prompts you to indicate if you would like to add "NKA" to the patient's list. Click Yes or No, as applicable.

5.   If you want to save your work now, click Sign (F10). The LMR indicates the changes that will be saved. Type your key and click Sign.

6.   Depending on your set up, you may be prompted to select a cosigner or sign for a provider. See Selecting a Cosigner and Signing and Saving for a Provider.
