Medication Administration Record (MAR)
The Medication Administration Record (MAR) is the module that serves as a legal record for
the medications administered to consumers at your organization. Once a MAR record is
created, a nurse or other qualified staff member must observe the medication being taken and
then complete the MAR record. Each medication record that is created must be electronically
signed by the qualified staff member at the time the medication is observed being taken by the
consumer. After a medication is administered to a consumer, it appears in read-only mode
through the consumer’s MAR. All staff members who have access to the consumer’s ECR will
have access to the consumer’s read-only MAR.
Step

body where the medication was administered.
 Missed check box - If the consumer was not available at the time the
medication was to be taken, select the Missed check box. If this check box is
selected, you must enter a note or comment in the Comments field. When this
option is selected, the system automatically sends an informational alert to the
signing staff member so an Incident Report can be completed.
 If this medication was given as an emergency response, select the STAT
check box. If you select this check box, you must enter a note in the
Comments field.
 If the medication is STAT or the consumer missed the medication, you must
enter an explanation or note in the Comments field. For all other medication
records, this field is optional. This entry can be up to 100 characters.
 The Signature field is used to electronically sign the medication record after it
is administered to the consumer or you observe the consumer taking it. Each
medication record must be signed individually.

the quantity remaining, the staff member who administered the
medication, the staff member who prescribed the medication, the
consumer’s vital signs at the time the medication was administered,
whether the medication was administered to the consumer by a

the consumer taking the medication, the site or location where the
medication was injected, whether the medication was missed because
the consumer was not available, whether the medication was given
STAT, and any comments associated with the administration of the
