Overview

The Print MAR screen is used to prepare and print MAR sheets for the LTC facility (Nursing Home) to help with medication dispensing. To ensure a patient appears in Print MAR, they must be assigned to an LTC facility, and their prescriptions should be in the /wiki/spaces/~813395333/pages/2565505027

To access the Print MAR Screen, click on LTC ➡️ 5. Print MAR's.

Prescription Dosage Information

If you click on the ‘Sig instructions’ or ‘Times’ portion of a blank row or when there is scheduled information in there you can pull up the prescription dosage information and set the schedule. In this prompt we can make the modifications for each dose based on time, quantity, frequency. There are other additional filters such as allowing the dosage information to be printed on MAR, be discontinued, which MAR form we can print it from, and adjusting the sig.

MAR Form Information

The layout of the printed MAR highly depends on the Form Code selected in the /wiki/spaces/~813395333/pages/2563211305. There are various form codes and the forms with -A,B,C etc.. are custom variations of the original form code made by pharmacies. It is dependent on the decision of the pharmacy and LTC which form code they would like to implement. BestRx recommends you choose a form that suits your needs on our approved MAR form vendor list.

To access our approved Mar Form Vendor List click on top tab Help ➡️ Important Contact Info.
