Accuracy of drug-allergy recording in a District General Hospital
International Journal of Pharmacy Practice, 07/17/09

Hill C et al. – Although doctors ask about drug allergies, documentation is not done well for a number of reasons, including the design of the drug card. Currently there is a blank allergy box with no guidance about what should be written there. The new drug card to be introduced in the next few months will distinguish between true drug allergies and side effects. It will also prompt the nature of the allergy to be documented, from whom this information was obtained, and the signature of the person filling in the information.
