Creating a MAR sheet

A MAR sheet is the per-period administration record — typically one sheet per 28-day period, though Carerealm doesn't enforce that.

Steps

1. Open eMAR → Sheets.

2. Click Create sheet.

3. Patient identity — full name (patient_full_name), DOB, GP, NHS number.

4. Patient allergies — free-text, kept alongside the structured allergies in the safety profile. Both are checked at administration.

5. Sheet name — usually the date range (e.g. "May 2026 — period 5").

6. Validity window — valid_from / valid_until. Optional but recommended — recordings outside the window are flagged.

7. Description — optional notes for the sheet.

8. Save.

Note — Allergies typed here are independent of the safety profile. Update both when allergies change — see Settings: Patient safety profile.

Scheduled sheet creation

For services that run on a fixed cycle, set up a Scheduled sheets rule and Carerealm will auto-create each new sheet on schedule.
