Electronic medication records your inspector can actually read
Replace paper MAR charts with an electronic medication administration record. Scheduled rounds and PRN doses are recorded at the point of care, missed doses surface the same day, and a full MAR chart exports in seconds.

What LuwaSuite eMAR does
Built with UK medication policy in mind — controlled drugs, PRN limits and witness requirements included.
Scheduled administration
Medication schedules by time of day and day of week, with the due round visible to the carer on shift.
PRN with safeguards
As-needed doses capture the reason and outcome, with maximum doses per 24 hours and minimum gaps between doses.
Witness sign-off
Controlled drug rounds can require a second signature. Your organisation sets the witness policy centrally.
Missed dose alerts
A manager view of missed and refused doses across the whole service, so gaps are found and explained the same day.
MAR chart export
Export a MAR chart for any period when an inspector, GP, pharmacist or family member asks for the record.
Clinical access control
Medication records sit behind explicit clinical access grants, so HR, IT and general admin users never see them.
Why providers move off paper MAR charts
Paper charts fail for predictable reasons. An electronic record removes most of them.
- Gaps and unsigned boxes are visible immediately, not at the monthly audit
- Every entry is timestamped and attributable to a named carer
- Handwriting and transcription errors disappear
- PRN limits are enforced by the system, not by memory
- Records cannot be lost, damaged or filed in the wrong folder
- Evidence for inspection is exported, not reconstructed
Part of one platform
This sits alongside Home Office sponsor licence compliance, full HR management and care delivery — one record, one login, one audit trail.

What is an eMAR system?
An eMAR (electronic medication administration record) system replaces the paper MAR chart. Carers record each administration digitally at the point of care, so the record is timestamped, attributable and instantly reportable.
Does LuwaSuite eMAR handle PRN medication?
Yes. PRN medication captures the reason for administration and the outcome, and can be configured with a maximum number of doses in 24 hours and a minimum gap between doses.
Can we require a witness for controlled drugs?
Yes. Your organisation sets a controlled drug witness policy — not required, encouraged or required — and the system applies it to controlled medication administration.
How do we see missed doses?
Managers have a service-wide missed dose view showing doses that were not administered, so they can be followed up the same day rather than at audit.
Can we produce a MAR chart for an inspection?
Yes. MAR charts export for a chosen period per service user, which is what inspectors, pharmacists and commissioners typically ask for.
Who can see medication records?
Only users with an explicit clinical access grant. HR administrators, IT managers and general admin users are excluded from medication and care records by design.
