Allergy

Allergy Reference feature allows the user to view detailed information of an allergy, allergy reaction and severity based on the search parameter. Allergy Severity Reference feature allows the user to view detailed information of an allergy, allergy reaction and severity. The Allergy Changed Subscription feature will allow the user to retrieve changes made in the patient's allergy section (generally new or updated). The user will need to subscribe. For more information about subscriptions, please refer Changed Data Subscriptions.

ALLERGY
The allergy section, unlike previous sections, contains all of the patient’s allergies. 

•  'allergyid' is the global athenaNet ID for this allergy. This is the same ID across all practices. You can get a list of allergies to add using our allergy API. 
• 'name' is the patient-friendly name for this allergy. 
• 'onsetdate' is the date the allergy was first noticed or reported. 
• 'allergyreactionid' is a list of reactions this patient has to this allergen. 
• 'severityid' is a list of reaction severities. If you specify reactions, you must also specify their severities. If the severity is not known, then the value 'none' must be used, which is a special value not currently in the fielddata specification. The allergyreactionid and severityid lists must have the same number of elements, as they are mapped to each other in order.
