How do I print MARs for all residents?

The main Manage Orders page allows you to generate MARs in bulk for all or several select residents.

There are two different formats for these documents: Filled MARs and Unfilled MARs.

Filled MARs

Filled MARs contain all administration records for residents in your selected month. These may be useful if your team needs to temporarily record meds on paper while also seeing the administration records that were previously recorded on the Pass Meds page this month.

These may also be requested by a surveyor. For more information about generating files for a survey, read this article: ALIS Survey Guide.

1. Click Medications > Manage Orders in the menus at the top of the page.
2. Click the button that says Print Filled MARs. These documents will contain all orders within a single selected month.
3. This will open a pane on the right for you to select options. 
   
   • To print MARs for all residents, keep the Resident menu set to All. For printing MARs for specific people, click the checkboxes next to their names in the menu. You can also print a MAR document for a single resident from here.
   • You can also filter using the Med Cart and Product Type filters to gather MARs for groups of residents. 
   • Select the Month and Year for which you need the documents. If you need multiple months, you will need to complete this process and print on month at a time. Read on for more details about printing previous month's MARs.
   • When you generate MARs from here, they do not automatically contain Exceptions, Med pass notes, Injection sites, or Vitals checks. Click the checkboxes next to these items in order to include these details. 
4. Click the Print button to generate a file containing all MARs for the selected residents. Review this and print as needed.

Unfilled MARs

The Print Unfilled MARs button will generate MAR documents that do not contain administration records. They will include resident names and order details only.

Past MARs

You can generate a MAR for more than one month at a time on a specific resident's Manage Orders page. Navigate to the resident's Manage Orders page and click the Past MARs button. This will create a pop-up that allows you to multi-select the months that the resident has been in ALIS and print.

You can also access a resident MAR for the current month by clicking the Current MAR button on a resident's profile below their photo.
