MAR Guide

QuickSCRIP has the ability to generate MAR (Medication Administration Records) forms for nursing homes and healthcare facilities. QuickSCRIP can print MARs directly onto blank paper, or it can populate pre-printed forms. This is an optional software feature and has an additional cost to install.

Facility Setup

If you are printing MARs for multiple facilities, you can use auto-profile codes to group patients with specific locations.

1. Start in the Pharmacy Main Menu
2. Select Option 3, Utilities
3. Select Option 3, Business Control File
4. Select number 28, Auto profile Code Descriptions

This screen allows you to assign facilities to an auto-profile code. In the small column, select a letter or number for the code, and in the larger column, enter the name of the facility. These codes can then be assigned to patients (covered in the next segment). Additionally, QuickSCRIP can be set to print the facility name at the top of the MAR sheets.

Note: You can use any letter (capital or lowercase), number, or symbol EXCEPT for A, a, E, e, or * (asterisk).

Patient Setup

Additional information can be attached to patients, which can be used in MAR forms.

1. Start in the Rx Processing Menu
2. Select option 13, Patient File Maint.

From here, search for the customer you'd like to update.

Auto Profile Code

You can group patients together under a facility with auto profile codes. This is useful for printing MAR forms by facility, and you can also group these customers together for other reports you might run. If you have linked auto profile codes by facility (covered in the Facility Setup segment) then you can attach it to a patient by entering the code on line 19.

Note: You can enter an * (asterisk) on line 19 to see what auto-profile codes are available from the assigned list.

Admission Date

Some facilities require that the admission date be included on the MAR, or at least be tracked electronically. This can be stored in the Customer Notes File.

1. Start in the Patient File Maint.
2. Find the customer you'd like to update.
