Maintain active medication allergy list.
Measure:
More than 80 percent of all unique patients seen by the eligible professional have at least one entry (or an indication that the patient has no known medication allergies) recorded as structured data.
Clinical Importance
Maintaining a list of known medication allergies for a patient is essential for safe patient care. Keeping this information stored in an EHR allows for easy review when prescribing new medications to a patient.
