An eMAR, or Electronic Medication Administration Record, is a digital tool that replaces paper MARs for tracking medication administration. It helps senior living communities improve medication safety, reduce errors, and stay compliant with state regulations.
Medication administration is one of the most critical responsibilities in senior living—and one of the most error-prone when managed on paper. eMAR software transforms this process by providing real-time documentation, automated alerts, and pharmacy integration, reducing risks and streamlining workflows.
State surveyors require accurate medication records. eMAR helps maintain compliance by logging every dose, flagging missed meds, and generating audit-ready reports.
Duplicate order detection, controlled substance tracking, and PRN over-administration prevention all help reduce medication errors.
Paper charting is time-consuming. eMAR simplifies med passes with clear task lists and mobile charting—helping staff focus more on residents.
Real-time pharmacy integrations eliminate manual entry and reduce transcription errors, ensuring staff always have the latest orders.
