What is e-MARS?

Electronic Medication Administration Records — Carerealm's built-in eMAR system for safe, traceable medication management.

e-MARS (Carerealm's eMAR) is the electronic medication administration record for an area. It replaces paper MAR charts with a live timeline that staff record against, with built-in safety checks (drug interactions, allergies, dose limits, missed-dose alerts) and a full audit trail.

What eMAR gives you

  • A live timeline of every dose due in the next 24 hours.

  • One-tap recording against eight standardised outcome codes.

  • Safety checks for drug interactions, allergies, PRN dose limits, max daily doses.

  • Round Mode for guided "do the whole morning round in one go" workflows (when enabled).

  • Controlled drug register separate from the main MAR, with witness requirements.

  • Covert administration tracking with MCA documentation and monthly review reminders.

  • PDF export of any MAR sheet for paper records.

  • Stock check integration so what's on the MAR matches what's in the cupboard.

Per-{{area}}

eMAR is one of the per-area apps — turn it on in Area settings. Every area that uses eMAR has its own medications list, MAR sheets and stock counts.

Heads up — eMAR is part of the legal medicines record. Recordings are timestamped with your name and cannot be silently edited. Wrong recordings get corrected via specific flows (retrospective, off-schedule, override) so the audit trail stays intact.
