Overview
The eMAR makes medication administration safer by showing exactly what is due and when, and recording what was actually given as it happens.
Why it matters
Medication error is one of the most common sources of avoidable harm in healthcare. Automated checking at the bedside, plus a record that can be reviewed afterwards, reduces both the chance of a mistake and the difficulty of investigating one.
How it connects
Medication orders arrive from order entry, appear in the nurse station, and draw on pharmacy data for what was dispensed.
