Quality of documentation of contrast agent allergies in electronic health records.
The purpose of this study was to describe and appraise contrast agent allergy documentation in the electronic health record (EHR). The investigators concluded that contrast allergy records in EHRs were diverse and commonly low quality. They suggest that continued EHR enhancements and training are needed to support contrast allergy documentation to facilitate improved patient care and medical research.
