A new version of the FDNext Client Allergies form is available with this version of EchoVantage and includes updates to streamline and improve the workflow for recording and managing a client’s allergies. Allergies can be recorded for classes of drugs, like SULFONAMIDES or ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES, and additional reaction severity information can also be collected.
A client’s allergy information in EchoVantage is synced with NewCrop each time the ePrescibe window is launched with the client in focus. Allergies can only be recorded and updated within EchoVantage.
