In British Columbia, medical allergies and medical conditions can be added locally in Propel Rx or transmitted to PharmaNet as well.

Once a Clinical Condition or Adverse Reaction is added to PharmaNet, it cannot be removed from the Patient Folder.

To add a medical allergy or medical condition:

Search for and select the patient.
Select the Clinical tab.
In the Clinical Information section, select Add. The Medical Condition Search window appears.
In the Description field, enter the allergy or medical condition.
Select Search. Matching results display in the bottom portion of the window.
Highlight the appropriate allergy or medical condition.
Select OK. The Medical Condition Search window closes and the Details window appears.
Enter the following information:
- Type
- Severity
- Reaction
- Reported By
In the Drug section, link a drug to the medical allergy or condition by searching for the DIN, generic name, or trade name. The drug is required to transmit an allergy to PharmaNet but optional for transmitting medial conditions. If no drug is selected for a medical allergy, the record remains local.
Under the Notes section, add any drug details and notes, if applicable.

Only one note is allowed for a medical allergy or condition. For a condition, the note must be added before saving. It cannot be removed once the condition is saved. For an allergy, a note can be added or edited after saving by detailing the allergy.
Select OK. The window closes and the allergy or medical condition is added to the Clinical tab. A checkmark indicates if a note has been added.
Repeat steps 3-11 until all of the patient's allergies or medical conditions have been added.
Select Save. A prompt displays if adding a condition to confirm if the information should be transmitted to PharmaNet.

Select one of the following:
- Yes - the information is saved in Propel Rx and is transmitted to PharmaNet. A PharmaNet Response is returned to indicate the transmission success.
- No - the information is saved in Propel Rx and is not transmitted to PharmaNet.
