Topic: AllergyIntolerance status undefined

Hi
In the case where an AllergyIntolerance resource is provided without a status: is it safer to assume an active status, or inactive?
We are aiming to provide a quick summary of patient allergies to a clinician, so in this case we are not displaying any inactive allergies.

the only safe assumption is that it likely is active

FYI - Going forward (in STU3), there is a new invariant that says AllergyIntolerance.clinicalStatus SHALL be present if verificationStatus is not entered-in-error.

how does that work for legacy integrators who don't have a status?
Mathew Tonkin-Henwood (Dec 01 2016 at 20:39):
Thanks for a conclusive answer. There have been many differing opinions about this.
