Which Epic module supports inpatient medication administration and MAR data?

• A. Inpatient MAR Review
• B. Inpatient Pharmacy Interface
• C. MAR Data Entry
• D. Medication Administration (Inpatient)

Answer: (D)

When a patient in the hospital receives a medication, the system must capture that administration in real time and update the MAR (Medication Administration Record) to reflect what was given, when, and how. The module designed for this inpatient workflow is Medication Administration (Inpatient). It provides the nurse-facing interface to document administration events—dose, time, route, and status—and it updates the MAR immediately so the patient’s chart stays current. It also supports safety features like barcode verification and alignment with active orders, ensuring the administration data is accurate and auditable. Other options don’t cover the full live administration workflow: Inpatient MAR Review is for looking over MAR entries after they’re recorded; Inpatient Pharmacy Interface handles pharmacy-related data exchanges rather than real-time administration; MAR Data Entry is for entering MAR information but not the real-time administration process itself.
