adding to doctors orders... legal or not?

UMMMM that is what the MAR and TAR is for. You add new orders on to that....DUH?

This is how it works in LTC. YOu have admission orders, then off of them you generate a Mar and TAR. Any orders received are then added to that. Each month our pharmacy generates a new MAR/ TAR and monthly reorder sheet. All of the orders that were received during that month are added to the new sheets. That is the basics, that is all that is needed. If your DON wants a current list of meds, tell her to look at the MAR or TAR.....Duh?
