Allergy Screening
Process of checking patient allergies against prescribed medications to prevent allergic reactions.
Allergy screening is the critical process of checking a patient's known allergies and adverse drug reactions against prescribed medications to prevent allergic reactions and adverse events. This screening occurs in real-time during prescribing and alerts healthcare providers if a prescribed medication contains ingredients to which the patient is allergic. Effective allergy screening systems integrate with patient records and provide immediate warnings to prevent potentially life-threatening reactions.
