Integration with electronic medication management systems is non‐negotiable for a national allergy/ADR register

To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Drewett and colleagues,1 on anaphylaxis presentations to emergency departments in Victoria, and the linked editorial by Lucas and Vale,2 which proposes a comprehensive adverse drug reaction registry to improve patient safety and care. Re‐exposure of a patient to a medicine to which they have had a previously documented allergy or adverse drug reaction (ADR) is a preventable clinical incident. The Australian sentinel events list includes “medication error resulting in serious harm or death” to ensure public accountability and transparency and drive national improvements in patient safety.3
