Enable a user to electronically record, modify, and retrieve a patient’s active medication allergy list as well as medication allergy history for longitudinal care (i.e., over multiple office visits).

 It is very likely that the current allergy list will satisfy this criteria but there is also a possibility that it will need to be modified to be coded correctly, i.e., for ePrescribing or for RxNorm compatibility.  Also, the VA is standardizing this list and we no longer receive that information except by extracting it from the VA Demos that we receive or potentially from a FOIA copy of VistA.  Nancy Anthracite has a FOIA request in for the updates with OI&T and another is pending with VHA.
