Implementation of a Pharmacist-Driven Penicillin and Cephalosporin Allergy Assessment Tool: A Pilot Evaluation.

Objective: Penicillin is the most commonly reported drug allergy despite the low incidence of true immune-mediated reactions. Penicillin allergy labels have been shown to lead to significant patient, institutional, and public health care consequences. This project's purpose was to improve quality of care for patients with penicillin and cephalosporin allergies, admitted to a pediatric institution, by implementation of a pharmacist-driven allergy assessment tool.
