RxCARE's eMAR solution is designed to automate and streamline the medication administration process for institutional pharmacies, assisted living, long-term care, and rehabilitation facilities. The system is a server-based electronic medication administration record that automates the process of distributing, tracking, and re-ordering medications and treatments safely and efficiently.
Key Benefits and Value Proposition The eMAR system is promoted as a tool to significantly enhance efficiency and patient safety. It can produce a substantial reduction in staff labor hours, estimated at 50% to 75%, typically associated with month-end record keeping and charting procedures. By eliminating paper-based record keeping, it enhances the security of medication inventories and staff identification procedures. The system dramatically reduces time spent on medication distribution and lowers the chance of medication-related errors.
Main Features and Capabilities The software automates record keeping and notifies nurses when it is time to reorder certain drugs, which streamlines communication with the pharmacy. Key features include bar code technology to verify current quantities and dosages of every medication, associating a resident's photo with each medication pass for accuracy, and tracking remaining medication quantities. For compliance, every medication, treatment, behavior, and care task record is fully documented, and the system provides extensive reporting of clinical, regulatory, and quality information. Controlled substances are safeguarded by requiring accurate counts.
Target Users and Use Cases RxCARE is an independent long-term care pharmacy, and its eMAR solution is primarily targeted at its client base: staff and administrators in assisted living facilities, adult care, group homes, long-term care, and rehab facilities. The main use case is ensuring the 'six rights' of medication administration (right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time, right documentation) and facilitating seamless, real-time communication between the care facility and the institutional pharmacy.
