Improving Allergy Documentation: A Retrospective Electronic Health Record System–Wide Patient Safety Initiative

Conclusions Through this multidisciplinary intervention, we identified and remediated 131,784 free-text entries in our EHR to improve clinical decision support and patient safety. Additional strategies are required to completely eliminate free-text allergy entry, and establish systematic, consistent, and safe guidelines for documenting allergies.
