MED e-care is excited to announce the arrival of our updated MAR Hotlist feature.

MAR Hotlist
Where to find the Hotlist
There are 2 ways to access the Hotlist:

Follow-ups
Click on the Follow-ups button to filter to any overdue follow-ups.
To complete the follow-up, click anywhere on that line:

Overdue Medication
Overdue medication is the equivalent to a gap or missing signature/entry on a paper MAR chart. eMAR highlights these for you in the Hotlist. They are also highlighted on the Dashboard and on the Round Summary Screen.
Click on Overdue Medication to filter to any overdue medication:
You should follow your home/group policy to investigate and find out if the medication was given or not, and then sign off that medication as either “Administered” or “Not Administered” based upon the outcome of your investigation.

You will then be able to sign the medication as either “Administered” or “Not Administered”.

Overdue Treatment
This is only applicable if your home uses the eTAR (electronic Treatment Administration Record). Overdue treatment is the equivalent to a gap or missing signature on a paper MAR chart for a topical medication or treatment. The system highlights any overdue treatments on the Hotlist. They are also highlighted on the Dashboard and on the eTAR Round Summary Screen.
