Round Mode walks you through every dose that's due — one after another — so a single carer can do a medication round end-to-end without flipping between the timeline and the recorder.
Heads up — Round Mode requires Enable Round Mode to be turned on in eMAR Settings. When the flag is off, the Administer button on the timeline opens the single-medication recorder instead. Realm admins can toggle this at eMAR → Settings (or per area if your service has overrides).
Starting a round
Click Administer in the eMAR nav.
A queue of due doses appears. Confirm you're ready to begin.
For each dose, pick an outcome: Given, Refused, Missed, or More options for the rest.
Refusals and non-given outcomes prompt for a note.
Move on to the next dose until the queue is empty.
You'll see a summary screen: given, refused, missed, total. Submit to close the round.
What's captured per round
Who started the round and at what time.
Who completed it.

Per-dose notes you entered.
If you need to step away mid-round
Round sessions persist. If you close the tab or get pulled away, opening Round Mode again resumes from the last unanswered dose. Another carer can't take over an in-progress round — sign in as yourself to continue, or hand over verbally and let the next carer start a fresh round.
Tip — For services where Round Mode is enabled, set up named rounds (Morning, Lunch, Tea, Bed) via Managing rounds to limit each round to only the doses scheduled in that window.
