Medication Administration Records (Beta)

With the new Medical Administration Records (MAR) module, users are able to track when a medication has been administered to an individual along with any comments. On the MAR, all current medications for the individual appear on a monthly grid. Users can specify each medication’s scheduled times. Medications can then be administered as per schedule and recorded during each shift. Monthly MAR reports can be generated and exported to PDF and Excel formats. This includes information such as Medication Name, Serving Time, Administered By, and Comments among others. Users can also print a blank copy of the monthly MAR grid or a filled-in grid as needed.

Full Drug Patient information sheets supplied by First DataBank

Medication History and MAR are now integrated with the industry standard drug database from First DataBank, to make it easier for the users to access the medication information while administering. First DataBank provides some of the World’s most comprehensive and trusted drug knowledge bases. This integration significantly enhances both MAR and Medication History modules by providing users with easy access to relevant drug information including:

  • Drug Image
  • Drug Identification
  • Dosage Information
  • Precaution
  • Drug Disease Contraindications
  • Side Effects
  • Monographs

and much more.

This will lead to better individual care, improved clinical decision making, and will substantially lower the risk of medication errors.

  • What happens when medication is changed on a MAR?
    If someone makes a change to a MAR (Medication Administration Records), the users will be told that the MAR is ‘locked’ for configuration.
