Our Electronic Medication Solution e-mar

EMAR system for the care sector

Traditionally, carers used to keep Medical Administration Records on paper, which was a time-consuming process. They had to make a list of medications provided to the residents, administer medication rounds and keep track of stocks. Now, this entire system is transformed into an electronic system called EMAR that can help fulfill every single task. All dosage information, histories and medication records are kept digitally to ensure the right medicines are given at the right time. Carers can now easily update information regarding dosages and medication while on the go. Even if they forget to change the status of a particular resident’s medication, they can update the status of their medication within 24 hours.

Medical records without medication errors

Moving MARs to an automated system (EMAR) brings plenty of benefits. In particular, the risk of handwritten errors in medication records can be decreased by using EMAR. All information is recorded in a single place, rather than kept on multiple papers that can be misplaced or lost. Our EMAR module gives staff peace of mind, knowing that it offers medication rounds with customised time frames for each service user. It also provides additional information about service users, such as their location, PRN, variable rounds, home remedies, etc. Moreover, this feature also indicates the maximum dosage of each person, which makes it easier for staff to avoid medication errors.
