Adding Notes in Atlas eMAR
Notes can be used to share information about a resident, medication, or the unit. They can be placed on different pages where most relevant.
Clinical notes can be set to appear whenever a resident’s record or medication is viewed. This helps highlight key care details, such as:
“Jim often spits out his medicine.”
“Edith takes medicines on a spoon.”
“Dorothy was tearful this morning.”
“Apply cream to left leg if inflamed.”
“Permission given to administer medicine covertly.”
Notes may show in the resident list, at patient or medication level, or as logs. Pop‑up notes display automatically; log notes do not.
