MAR - Medication Administration Record - Enhancements

After recently releasing an updated version of our popular MAR for Assisted Living Communities, it came under increased scrutiny resulting in the following enhancements.

ORDER Meds - you can now "order" meds on the MAR so they don't just show in the order they are entered. Meds are separated into two groupings: Scheduled and PRN Meds. Now within each of these grouping, you can determine the order in which meds appear.

REPEAT Med Every ___ Days. This scheduling option was not previously supported. Instead, you could enter either "Odd" or "Even" days. But users quickly pointed out that this is a problem when a month has 31 days, as then two "Odd" days come together. So now when you want to schedule a medication for "Odd" days, you simply start it on an "Odd" day and repeat it every 2 days. This has the added advantage of scheduling every 7 days (weekly), or 30 days (monthly) or every 180 days (6 months).

So PALs Software continues to evolve thanks to our loyal users who provide valuable feedback.
