NKA in allergy App needs to be removed

NKA in allergy App needs to be removed - if NKA selected, drug orders cannot be processed; NKDA must be selected in order to process med orders and that is the way it should function for TJC and CMS at a minimum must address Drug allergies; please disable NKA

    Removing the all-inclusive NKA option is part of the design for the new Allergies & Intolerances Console card. We are working on this development now. With that said, the expectation is that the Allergies & Intolerances console card will be available on the PDC 1.10.0 release later this year. This new card will also take the place of the EHR Allergies application in a future release (target is PDC 1.12.0 release) so the NKA option will no longer be available anywhere in the system.

      Any PO review of this request?

      As mentioned before, the option of being able to select a button for "unable to verify" and then a reason list to choose from would be very applicable to the ED. See additional comments back from 7/26/23.

      It's about time...NKA should've been removed long ago as it's too vague and can be misinterpreted by the patient. Best practice is to be specific. NKDA, NKEA and NKFA leave little room for misunderstanding and mistakes

      In addition, a option of "unable to verify allergies" needs to be available. The response of NKDA is the result of a question being asked but in the ED pt's could be obtunded/unresponsive and unable to verify if allergies are present.

      a lot of time is wasted when NKA is chosen and need to address NKDA instead; also, a lot of aggravation by nurses who comment why this is an option and should not use it
