Allergen Group Code/Mnemonic/Description
2007-05-08
Definition: This field contains the code, mnemonic, or description used to uniquely identify an allergen group when both a detailed allergy (IAM-3 - Allergen Code/Mnemonic/Description) and group level (IAM-10 - Allergen Group Code/Mnemonic/Description) need to be communicated. In cases where systems want to communicate both a specific drug allergy and the group of drugs to which the specific drug belongs (i.e., Bactrim and Sulfa drugs; Ceclor and Penicillins/Cephalosporins) then the specific drug allergy is sent in IAM-3 - Allergen Code/Mnemonic/Description and the group level is sent in IAM-10 - Allergen Group Code/Mnemonic/Description. However, if only a group level is being communicated, then it can be sent in IAM-3 as the primary identifier of the allergy.
