A Medication Administration Record (MAR) is a record of all medications that are given to a patient while they are in a hospital or nursing home facility. OpenEMR currently supports a medication list and writing prescriptions, however, OpenEMR does not support a MAR. Goal is to implement a MAR in OpenEMR.

Hello mentors @robert.down @stephenwaite , My name is Aditya Tomar from India and I am currently in my second year of graduation. Skills I aquire are of mainly web development domain like MERN, PHP, Nodejs. I am highly interested in this project idea. But I want to know more about it. Can you please guide me through the path? ---

@stephenwaite Wouldn’t it be easier to a transaction format that stores pid, user.id, role, prescription id, admin dosage, admin route, admin site, admin timestamp, admin override, note where role = preadmin, admin, witness, postadmin This will permit multiple users to report their orders/observations at different times. Preadmin and admin will see defaults from prescription and be able to override with some explanation. Witness and postadmin will only get to record their note as a separate record linked to prior action but multiple times as reactions will go through iterations that need to be logged in sequence. ---

@stephenwaite Is there any repository maintained for this project or we have to start from scratch? And is there anything you want to recommend me to be on the as same page as you? I have seen the road map and took a tour of the OpenEMR and I want to explore more about the codebase. ---

Hello Mentors, I am Sk Shahnawaz, a CS Undergraduate student from India. I had contributing to the openemr repo on Github for quite some time and fixing the issues. After going through the projects listed under OpenEMR for GSoC 2020, this idea really interests me and suits my domain. Please guide me how to begin knowing more about this. Meanwhile I am exploring the technology 🙂 ---

Hi @adad20 and @skshahnawaz , I would consider this project to consist of 2 parts. Part 1 would be to improve the current medication feature in OpenEMR to store all the necessary medication elements and to integrate well with the prescription feature in OpenEMR. See here for an issue that proposes a way to do this: [add prescription to medication leaves something to be desired :) · Issue #2917 · openemr/openemr · GitHub](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/issues/2917) Part 2 is the building of the MAR (Medication Administration Record) feature which basically involves documentation of the administration of medications and the ability to derive a multitude of reports from this. For a brief related use case, see this forum thread: [Kiosk view of all upcoming medications?](https://community.open-emr.org/t/kiosk-view-of-all-upcoming-medications/13833) And for a a more detailed thread discussing MAR, see here: [Medical Administration Record](https://community.open-emr.org/t/medical-administration-record/8309/8) Hope this helps to get you started, -brady ---

@vishal_io As of now Openemr does not support MAR, so it should be made from scratch. ---
