eMAR Systems

eMAR is a server-based electronic medication management system designed for in-house pharmacies, living support, long-term care and rehabilitation facilities. This software automatically distributes, tracks and sorts drugs and treatments for in-home nursing care facilities and pharmacies automatically, safely and efficiently. RxCARE proudly supports ACCUflo and QuickMAR eMAR systems

Because nursing staff and pharmacists are on the same page, maintaining home healthcare, safety is the top priority, so better results can be obtained using eMAR.

eMAR can reduce employee hours related to monthly records management and charting procedures from 50% to 75%. Most importantly, eMAR eliminates preservation of paper records while staff focus on housing care and safety, improving drug list safety and employee identification procedures.

In home health care facilities, eMAR significantly reduces the time spent dispensing medicines and the possibility of drug-related errors. The system automatically logs records, informs nurses when it is necessary to rearrange specific medicines, and makes it easy to interact with pharmacies. Barcode technology verifies the current dose and dosage of each drug. In addition, resident photos are associated with each drag path associated with a doctor's instruction, thus helping to support consistency and accuracy of drug distribution.

eMAR also tracks the amount of medicine remaining and automatically adds supplements as necessary. This automation program is a tool to save time for facilities and pharmacies. Because this system supports a paperless environment, medical institutions do not have to manually reschedule orders to an agency pharmacy.

As all medication and treatment information is stored in a central database, eMAR immediately generates generic information including doctor's instructions and medical management reports (MAR). The reporting system replaces manual data entry. The reporting mechanism also provides improved efficiency in terms of managing the costs associated with pharmacy ordering and refilling.

Efforts to reduce dosage mistakes and improve patient outcomes have shifted to new health information technology including doctor's order entry system and electronic drug management system, or eMAR. In the eMAR system, the nurse scans the patient's wristband barcode and medication before administration. This technique verifies the identity of the patient, the doctor's instruction or the pharmacy's input and automatically records medication management. In "Impact of bar code technology on the safety of pharmaceutical management", Eric G. Poon and his colleagues valued barcode drug verification technology at the tertiary medical center. After the study period of 9 months 2005 - 14041 drug treatments and 3,082 transcription tests were observed - the authors concluded that management errors and potential harmful drug events decreased significantly after the introduction of eMAR technology

Because the MBCPC system collects drug usage and associated clinical data during medication, they are ideal to meet electronic medication management records (eMAR). Although the eMAR is built into the MBCPC system, it should be able to send medical record information to other eMAR systems. The challenge is to concentrate all components of eMAR on a single document that can be used as a permanent part of patient records. 6.8.6.1 Identifying Patients
