Documentation of Drug and Non‐Drug Allergies in Public Hospital Electronic Health Records: A National Survey

Marked heterogeneity exists in NHS EPR systems and food/non-drug allergy documentation practices. Trusts without EPRs experience higher reporting rates, while training and specialist services are associated with improved recognition. The absence of dedicated categories for food and non-drug allergies contributes to systematic underreporting. These findings demonstrate how fragmented systems and inconsistent governance directly compromise allergy safety across UK hospitals.
