Clinical Center News

Beginning Oct. 16, the Clinical Center's current Allergy Alert Band will be replaced with a new red Allergy Band that states, 'ALLERGY'. This change is in response to a recommendation made by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices and is consistent with practices implemented in other healthcare organizations. The electronic health record (i.e., CRIS) remains the source record for medication and food allergies reported by a patient.
