Welcome to the FAMP-IT Clinician Support Tool

What is FAMP-IT?

FAMP-IT is a tool designed to help guide pediatricians and other primary care providers in the prevention and management of food allergy in infants and toddlers. This tool has four main resources:

Information consistent with the most up-to-date guidelines and literature
EMR templates for documentation of allergy-related issues
Patient education resources for clinicians to distribute to families
Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits for participation in our quality improvement project

What’s new at FAMP-IT?

Looking for a quick read to share with families? Check out this blog post, done in collaboration with the NWA: “Protecting Your Baby: What You Need to Know About Food Allergies.” If you’re a National WIC Association member, join us at our upcoming webinar on June 11th.

Join us for a free webinar with Allergy & Asthma Network on June 16th at 4 pm ET, “Critical Collaborations in Infant and Toddler Food Allergy Management,” designed for healthcare professionals involved in the management of food allergies in infants and toddlers and who seek to strengthen collaborative care approaches.

Check out the newly updated Newborn Nursery page for evidence-based guidance on food allergy prevention during early infancy, including a handy video — Preventing Food Allergies: What You and Your Family Can Do in the First Several Months — to share with families.

For additional implementation support, sign up for Office Hours. These live sessions will give you and your team the opportunity to receive tailored food allergy guidance, address specific barriers, and ask questions on topics of your choice.

hang in your office

Our new FAMP-IT Family website has up-to-date food allergy information geared specifically towards parents and family members, in both English and Spanish. Hanging our poster in your waiting room is a great way to provide the link to your patients.

How this website tool is organized

Famp-it.org is organized into 4 main topics:

Early Food Introduction
Skincare
Management of IgE-Mediated Allergies
Information on Non-IgE Mediated Allergies

Each section includes information on the most up-to-date guidelines, as well as resources for clinicians to provide to patients.

Each section also has resources for use in the electronic medical record, both for provider documentation and decision making, as well as family education materials. You can copy and paste any of the relevant sections into your own EMR system to use during patient visits. These can be found under the icons at the top of every section.

The top navigation bar hosts additional information separate from the 4 main food allergy topics.
