The eMAR audit trail
eMAR features
Medication management that actually protects people.
Digital MAR sheets on mobile
Carers see a clear medication list for each client on their phone. They record each medication as administered or refused — with a time-stamp and their digital signature — before leaving the visit.
Missed dose alerts
If a scheduled medication is not recorded within the expected window, your coordinator gets an alert automatically. No waiting until end of day. No relying on carers to call in.
PRN (as-needed) medication tracking
Carers can record PRN medications given during a visit — including dose, reason and time. PRN records are visible in the family portal and the full medication log.
CQC-ready audit trail
Every administration — or refusal — is stored with a timestamp, carer ID and GPS confirmation. During an inspection, your medication records are complete, accurate and instantly retrievable.
Family visibility (where permitted)
Families with access to the portal can see the medication administration record for their relative in real time. Fewer worried phone calls; more informed families.
Controlled drug workflows
Controlled drug administration requires a second carer signature confirmation — enforced automatically by the app so your protocols are always followed.
Common questions
About iStaffRota eMAR.
Does iStaffRota eMAR replace paper MAR sheets?
Yes. iStaffRota's eMAR replaces paper MAR sheets entirely. Carers record administration on the mobile app, creating a timestamped, auditable digital record. Many agencies find the transition removes the most common source of audit failures immediately.
What happens if a medication is missed?
When a scheduled medication is not recorded within the expected window, iStaffRota generates an automatic alert to the coordinator and manager. The missed dose is flagged in the audit log and remains visible even after subsequent visits.
Can families see the eMAR?
Where the agency permits it, family members with access to the family portal can view the medication record for their relative — including what was given, when, and by whom.
