eMAR Updates - June 2026
These releases introduce new features and address bugs
eMAR Portal Update (v5.8.0) – 25th June
This release introduces a new daily clash email report alongside business as usual improvements.
- Daily clash email report: New scheduled email report is now available summarising medication clashes.
- PRN workflow improvements: PRN follow-up actions are now recorded against a dedicated sibling task rather than the parent medication administration task.
- New check-in screen – custom schedules: Fixes several issues affecting medications on custom patterns. The calendar now shows the correct dosage for each day of a custom schedule (including the final days of the pattern), and medications with a custom pattern and varying daily dosages can now be checked in.
- New check-in screen – PRN protocols: Fixes an issue where PRN protocol values could be cleared when checking in medication dispensed by the pharmacy.
- New check-in screen – low stock changes: Fixes an issue where changes to a medication's low-stock level were ignored unless the underlying drug ID also changed.
- New check-in screen – reliability: Resolves a case where a check-in could partially save when an error occurred, leading to a mismatch between what the screen showed and what was saved.
- New check-in screen – stop date display: Fixes incorrect stop dates appearing under medications and in stop warnings (for example, today's date being shown for a medication scheduled to stop on a future date).
- Mandatory route of administration: Adds mandatory validation for route of administration in the medication details and new check-in screens.
- MAR chart for custom 90-day patterns: Fixes an issue where the MAR chart failed to display administered medication on the correct day, and on future dates, for medications using a custom 90-day repeat pattern.
- Portal and App alignment: Fixes an issue where scheduled medication rounds visible on the Portal were not reflecting on the eMAR App.
- Allergies hover: Fixes a case where allergies showed "None" when hovering over the allergies tab on the schedule page, even when allergies were correctly synced from Nourish.
- Proxy linking: Resolves an issue where a service user could have multiple active proxy links to patients.
- Bulk audit witness prompt: Fixes an issue where the Bulk Audit flow did not prompt for a witness login, even when the "Witness for Bulk Audit" setting was enabled.
- Portal UI tweaks: A range of small UI improvements across the Portal.
