The majority of patients reporting penicillin allergy are not truly allergic. Avoidance of penicillin/beta-lactam antibiotics leads to using broader-spectrum, more expensive antibiotics. Rapid desensitization pursued unnecessarily also results in higher costs. This session will allow participants to optimize evaluations of patients reporting drug allergies, leading to improved, cost-effective care.
