Overview

Education and nursing interventions reduce penicillin allergy labels in primary care, suggesting effective targeting strategies.

Key Points

  • Determine which patients with penicillin allergy labels should be targeted for de-labeling interventions.
  • Educated patients with penicillin allergy labels via online messaging.
  • Conducted allergy referrals through nurse-driven communication.
  • Analyzed the change in penicillin allergy labels before and after intervention.
  • Reduced penicillin allergy labels by 8.6%.
  • Largest reductions were seen in 'unknown' (14.8%) and 'rash' (7.9%) reaction types.
  • Smaller reductions were noted for 'hives' (6.1%) and 'itching' (1.4%).
