A Medication Administration Record[1] (MAR, or eMAR for electronic versions), commonly referred to as a drug chart, is the report that serves as a legal record of the drugs administered to a patient at a facility by a health care professional.
The MAR is a part of a patient's permanent record on their medical chart.
The health care professional signs off on the record at the time that the drug or device is administered.
In the Philippines, the term is used to refer the old census charts of the charge nurse usually used during endorsement, in which index cards are used, but has been gradually been replaced by modern health data systems and pre-printed charts and forms.
The term derives from an early purveyor of recording cards.
