Medication Administration Records (MAR)

A Medication Administration Record (MAR) is a detailed log used by healthcare providers to track the medications a patient is prescribed and administered. It shows essential information such as the medication names, dosages, times given, and who administered them. The MAR helps ensure patients receive the correct medications at the right times, supports accurate communication among caregivers, and provides a record for accountability and safety. It is an important tool in both healthcare facilities and home care to promote proper medication management and patient well-being.
