Allergy Documentation Policy

Does anyone have limitations to who can reconcile, update or add new allergies to admitted patients? and what fields are required? Currently we have 3 fields required: allergy type, severity and reaction and in an assessment found we never had all 3 documented. Looking to improve our process by creating a policy.

thanks,

Jess
