Allergies that have been entered in either CareWeb or UM-CareLink from previous visits will be retained for future visits. One of the first things you do when reviewing a patient’s history, is to update his or her allergy information, and it’s the same when using UM- CareLink. The patient’s allergy information is used in drug/allergy checking during order entry. Therefore, it is very important that this information has been entered and is up-to-date before you submit an order. In fact, it is mandatory that allergies be marked as reviewed before orders can be submitted on a newly admitted patient. If a patient has un-reviewed allergies, a red Flag will appear in the Allergy Review column located on the Patient List tab. The action of double-clicking this flag will only produce an information window explaining that allergy review is necessary for patient care. To mark allergies as reviewed, or to edit or add patient allergy information, click the Allergies tab.

Allergies that have been entered in either CareWeb or UM-CareLink from previous visits will be retained for future visits.
One of the first things you do when reviewing a patient’s history, is to update his or her allergy information, and it’s the same when using UM-CareLink. The patient’s allergy information is used in drug/allergy checking during order entry. Therefore, it is very important that this information has been entered and is up-to-date before you submit an order. In fact, it is mandatory that allergies be marked as reviewed before orders can be submitted on a newly admitted patient.If a patient has un-reviewed allergies, a red Flag will appear in the Allergy Review column located on the Patient List tab. The action of double-clicking this flag will only produce an information window explaining that allergy review is necessary for patient care. To mark allergies as reviewed, or to edit or add patient allergy information, click the Allergies tab.

You may notice that the screens in the Allergies tab look like the same screens you use to view and enter allergy information in CareWeb. This helps you remember that the allergy information you enter into CareWeb is shared with UM-CareLink and vice-versa.
If No Documented Allergies are present, you will see the No Known Allergies and Unable to Assess Buttons. If the patient does have documented allergies, only the Add button is available.
