This Clinical Management Review Article summarizes lessons from population-level delabeling initiatives, highlighting the value of incorporating non-allergist perspectives and practical implementation tools. Effective strategies extend beyond specialist settings and rely on multidisciplinary engagement-including primary care, pharmacy, and nursing-to scale interventions. A practical toolkit offering standardized risk-stratification algorithms, oral challenge protocols, and communication templates supports safe and efficient delabeling across diverse clinical environments. Psychosocial and equity considerations are critical to delabeling success. Fear, misinformation, and cultural beliefs often shape patients' willingness to undergo evaluation, while systemic barriers-such as limited specialist access, language differences, and resource constraints-contribute to disparities. Programs that embed patient-centred education, shared decision-making, and flexible delivery models show improved uptake and long-term sustainability. Equity-focused approaches, including outreach to underserved communities and integration into routine care pathways, are essential to achieving broad impact. By combining evidence-based protocols with practical tools and inclusive stakeholder engagement, health systems can overcome logistical and psychosocial challenges to meaningfully reduce the number of inappropriate penicillin allergy labels. These lessons underscore the need for adaptable, equity-driven strategies to optimize antimicrobial use and improve patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":51323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology-In Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147864827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These unverified labels lead to suboptimal antibiotic use, increased health care costs, and worse clinical outcomes. Traditional allergist-led assessment models are not scalable due to global shortages of allergy specialists. Recent evidence supports a shift toward proactive, ambulatory, multidisciplinary delabeling strategies that integrate risk-stratified direct oral drug provocation testing into routine care. Validated point-of-care tools now enable nonallergists, including pharmacists, nurses, and physicians, to safely identify low-risk patients suitable for delabeling without skin testing. Successful programs in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community settings demonstrate that ambulatory delabeling is safe, cost-effective, and scalable. High-yield populations such as pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and older adults benefit significantly from timely evaluation. Effective implementation requires structured training, standardized protocols, integration into electronic health records, and a Hub-and-Spoke model linking nonspecialist “spokes” to allergist-led “hubs” for oversight. Clear documentation, patient education, and postchallenge follow-up are essential to prevent relabeling. Future efforts must focus on equitable access, workforce development, and research to validate tools in underrepresented populations and quantify long-term antimicrobial stewardship benefits. Ambulatory delabeling is no longer the sole domain of allergists but a shared responsibility across health care systems to improve prescribing, patient safety, and global antimicrobial resistance outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology-In Practice","volume":"14 5","pages":"Pages 1014-1022.e1"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145806289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
