What Is a Medication Administration Record (MAR)? Meaning & Uses

A Medication Administration Record, often called a MAR Chart, is a document used to record the medicines given to a person — what was taken, when, and by whom.

MAR charts are essential in care settings because they provide a clear, auditable record that supports safe medication administration and CQC compliance.

YOURmeds MAR dynamically generates a unique and extensive suite of user-friendly labels, charts and reports, each clearly identifying the service user, drug, dose and time by photo and colour coded time passes.
