Course Objectives
At the end of this session, participants
should be able to:
•Discuss the importance of performing the Allergy Clean Up
•Use the Allergy Clean Up utility
•Understand the risks and benefits of “batch” updating reactions
Why Perform Clean-up?
• Previously, users could enter reactions using a variety of files, or by using a “free text” entry not linked to any specific file.
• These entries may or may not have the correct information to order check.
• These entries do not have the needed information for data exchange and interoperability.
Clean Up Utility
• This utility does NOT automatically match any entry to a “better” entry, nor does it suggest better entries.
• It is simply a tool for identifying allergies that may be problematic and allows the user to take action on them.
Three Clean Up Options• Free Text
– These entries are not tied to any particular file.– Sites MUST clean these up as soon as possible.
• Ingredient– These entries are tied to the DRUG INGREDIENT
file (#50.416).– These will need clean up at some point, but are
not as urgent.
• Drug Class– These files are tied to the VA DRUG CLASS file
(#50.605).– These also require clean up but are not as urgent.
Free Text Clean Up
• When the user selects a free-text reactant, a list of currently existing free-text entries is displayed in alphabetical order.
• This list may take a few minutes to generate, as all existing entries need to be evaluated to determine which are “free text.”
• The list shows the name of the reactant, and the number of entries for that reactant.
Free Text Clean Up
• When entering the utility, any users who are currently working in the utility are listed.
• If users are listed as working with the utility, the next user will not be allowed to update the list:– In other words, only one user can be updating
the list at any given time.

Free Text Clean Up
Once in the list, the user may select one of the following options:•DD: Detailed Display•EE: Mark entered in error•UR: Update to new reactant
Detailed Display• This displays all of the entries for that
particular reaction.
• It includes all the reactions tied to each patient with that reactant:– Can only ACT on the reaction you are
currently working on (look in the top right corner to see which reaction you are on)
– Shows as a string of text separated with the tilde (~)
• Choose additional actions from this screen.
Detailed DisplayCan choose several options from here:•DD Allergy Detailed Display
– Shows a Fileman style listing of the reaction details for the selected patient
•UR Update to new reactant– Updates the selected patient’s reaction only
•EE Entered in Error– Marks the reaction as “entered-in-error” for the
selected patient only
•PR Add/Edit Patient Reaction– Allows the user to add additional reactions for the
selected patient

Add/Edit Patient Reaction
• This option can be used to add additional reactions for the patient.
• This option should be used to add NEW reactions only.
• If existing entries are marked as entered in error from within this option it will not update the utility's display until the list is rebuilt upon re-entry of this option:– This could cause confusion as the list will no
longer be accurate.
Batch Updating
• Entries can be “batch” updated from the main screen.
• This should be used with caution, especially for entries that have several patient entries tied to it.
• However, once the details have been reviewed for each patient, this can make the clean up go faster.

Ingredient and Drug Class• These options work the same as the free
text utility.
• As with Free Text, use the “batch” options with extreme care.
• Though these are not critical to clean NOW, these will eventually need to be cleaned:– It is wise to start on this project as soon as the
free text are cleaned up, to avoid a time crunch later
