I'm hoping that someone can provide the information necessary to change how
our administration times appear on the MAR label. Currently, no date prints,
and the times are not verticall alligned. We have had problems with new
orders for a drug to be given every 36 hours being given 12 hours after the
first dose because nursing was confused by the MAR label. We use 1 day MARs
in the critical care units and 3 day MARs in the rest of the hospital. An
example of the current label is as follows: (Note that there are only 2 of
the 0800 times because the med was started later in the day.
ADMIN TIMES: 0800 0800
2000 2000 2000
Here is what I would like to see:
ADMIN DATES: 11/7/06 11/8/06 11/9/06
ADMIN TIMES : 0800 0800
2000 2000 2000
Thanks,
