All medication is required to be accounted for on the monthly order when ordering via Atlas eMAR. The monthly order will display in red under the "orders" icon from day 1 of your monthly cycle. It is best practice that the monthly order is placed between day 1 and day 8 to allow enough time for ordering, processing, dispensing, delivery and review by the home before the start of the next cycle.
To place the monthly order follow this process:
1. First log into Atlas eMAR. Select the manage orders icon below the orders heading, this should have a number within the icon showing how many medications there are to action and these should be actioned. This will bring up a list of all residents with medication due to be ordered.
2. Select the first resident and then select the action icon next to each of the medications one by one; this will bring up a screen which will ask you whether the medication is required or not required. It is important that you action all of the items even if they are not required, as the order cannot be processed until all items are accounted for.
3. Once the order for all items, for all residents have been completed all residents will appear in green, at this point a completed option will appear at the bottom of the monthly order list, this needs to be selected and the device will need to be synchronised to generate the monthly order summary.
4. The synchronisation of the device will generate a copy of the order to the Care Homes designated email address and will upload to the Atlas central site within the monthly order section. The order will need to be placed with the Pharmacy or directly with the Surgery as agreed.
