Because penicillin allergy labels are often applied in childhood and carried into adulthood, we sought to increase the completeness of reaction history documentation from 20% to 70% for pediatric hospital medicine patients and from 20% to 50% for all other pediatric inpatients within 12 months. As a secondary outcome, we also aimed to increase the proportion of delabeling unnecessary penicillin labels to 20% for all pediatric inpatients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To address our aims, our quality improvement initiative included education for pediatric faculty and staff, development and implementation of a clinical pathway for allergy risk stratification, and electronic health record optimizations. Statistical process control charts were used to track the impact of the interventions facilitated by an automated dashboard.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Within 12 months of interventions, the completeness of allergy labels improved from 20% to 64% among patients admitted to the pediatric hospital medicine service and improved from 20% to 45% for all other pediatric inpatients. The frequency of penicillin allergy delabeling remained unchanged; however, 98 patients were risk stratified and 34 received outpatient allergy referrals for further testing. The number of adverse drug reactions to penicillin, a balancing measure, did not change during the study period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We increased the completeness of penicillin allergy documentation using a standardized workflow facilitated by a multidisciplinary clinical pathway. With ongoing efforts, more penicillin delabeling in low-risk patients is anticipated.<\/jats:p>\n
