Client Active Medications and Active Allergies Widgets with CalMHSA Rx Data

From the Client Dashboard, there two new widgets for Active Allergies and Active Medications. These two widgets integrate CalMHSA Rx medications/prescriptions with SmartCare’s Client Orders, Allergies Screen, and the Medication Rx Module from SmartCare (if your county has access to this screen).

Active Client Allergies Widget Key Points

  • The allergies are pulled from CalMHSA Rx and SmartCare’s Allergy screens.    
  • This will only list allergies that are Active. Any inactive allergies will not be included.   
  • It will display any data that was entered for Reaction, Severity, and Onset Date, if available.  
  • For each allergy, the widget will display information about when the data was last modified and by who.    
  • For CalMHSA Rx allergies, the allergies must be reviewed by a provider for the data to be pulled into the widget.  
  • For SmartCare Allergies, this widget does not distinguish between allergy types: Allergy, Intolerance and/or Failed Trial. Comments are not included in the widget.  If you need that information, please go to the “Allergies” screen.    
  • You may need to refresh the Client Dashboard screen in order to get updated information in the widget.  

Note: The allergy data entered in CalMHSA Rx and in the SmartCare Client Allergies Screen are two separate data sets. At this time, they are not related to each other.  

For example: In CalMHSA Rx, the client is listed with NKDA (no known drug allergies) but in the SmartCare Client Allergies screen, they have an allergy listed. Both will be displayed in the widget.
