HL7 Version 3 Standard: Clinical Models for Allergies and Intolerances, Release 1
DESCRIPTION
The Allergy and Intolerance Clinical Models unify a number of international models designed to deal with the documentation and interoperability of allergy and intolerance conditions. The use cases and models were developed with several goals in mind. The first goal was to provide the reader examples of the following concepts:
- Documentation of a newly observed vs. reported allergy or intolerance
- To establish that an allergy and intolerance should be treated as an adverse reaction until clearly differentiated (by test, or by clinical opinion)
- To delineate the difference between severity and criticality and how to apply these concepts to an adverse reaction vs. a condition
- To demonstrate the creation and maintenance of an allergy and intolerance list, as well as identify how to update a list after misattribution, or ensure that some statement of assessment is included on the list (no known allergies, unable to determine), and how to address an allergy entered in error.
- To demonstrate the reconciliation of two different allergy and intolerance lists.
The second goal of the project was to highlight the fact that allergies and intolerances are not just related to drugs but should include food, device and environmental allergies and intolerances.
