[Health-dev] Recording coded patient allergies in GNU Health

[address@hidden]

Hello Chris

Welcome back to the discussion forum! Yes, my idea for drug 
allergy checking might be a bit complicated. 

I agree with Luis that when 
creating a new prescription (or medication record) the software should cross 
check for any patient linked ICD-10 codes that include a drug allergy 
definition. If yes, then a general pop up warning should appear to remind the 
doctor/prescriber to check the patient's allergies and prescribe with extra 
caution.

I think that this simple solution will work very well and not be too 
demanding on system resources.

Regards

Andrew
