Each area's eMAR has a patient safety profile that drives the safety checks. Open eMAR → More → Settings → Patient Safety to manage it.
Fields
Allergies — structured list. Use drug names ("amoxicillin") or class names ("penicillin", "NSAID") for class-level matching.
Medical conditions — free-text list captured for clinical context.
Contraindicated medications — explicit "do not give" list.
Interaction checking enabled — master switch. Off = no warnings.
Allergy/contraindication checking enabled — separate switch for the allergy branch.
Severity threshold — minimum interaction severity that surfaces. Default
moderate. Options:minor / moderate / major / critical.Allow interaction override — when off, ALL interaction blocks become hard (no recording, no override path).
Require override reason — when on, every override must carry a free-text justification.
Heads up — Disabling interaction or allergy checking turns off a real safety net. Do it only with a clinician's sign-off and document why in the area's About profile.
Profile vs sheet allergies
Allergies live in two places: this profile AND the patient_allergies free-text field on each MAR sheet (see Creating a MAR sheet). Both are checked. Keep them in sync.
