About eMAR

Developed by MED e-care, eMAR is a web-based tool targeted at the healthcare industry for medication administration. The app is suitable for residential healthcare providers, such as care homes, palliative care facilities, and nursing homes.

The tool integrates with medication dispensing software, enabling pharmacists to enter drug information directly via its interface. Staff can view reordered, discontinued, and on-hold drugs when practicing med-pass. eMar syncs offline and provides backup reports, even during a power or network outage. Users can enter STAT medication through a contingency box for safe dispensing in a few clicks.

eMAR features a self-administration button, allowing residents to capture self-administered drug information without needing care staff to maintain daily records. Nurses can use the Pop and Dot feature to sign off for medications in bulk after the residents have verified that all medications are present.

MED eCare Review

The product itself is great. It does the job if used correctly. The people behind the scenes supping the product and the customers are fabulous and don't get the credit they deserve. Other software firms focus on sales. They forget product development and they certainly skimp on support. This doesn't happen with MED eCare.

Functionality

Pros:

The Dashboard is great. It provides a clear snapshot of important management information which can be used to quickly analyse data and correct anything that needs attention. The various reports and ease of access to data is something that saves Management a considerable amount of time when completing audits. The product offering itself is vast and comprehensive. Most importantly, it's the people behind the product. The support is fantastic. From implementation all the way through to live support several years later.

Cons:

Not so much something with the software but generally speaking, integrations with care planning companies (at least the main players) would be hugely beneficial.

Reasons for choosing eMAR

The people I dealt with were most honest during the sales process. This product had some features which others didn't (although they may now have them). The founder/creator of the product was/is a nurse. Some other products were a little too new to market for my liking.

Vendor Response

Jabriel, thank you so much for your feedback! We're looking forward to making your experience even better and are actively pursuing integrations with other care management software providers in the very near future. Thanks again!

MED e-care eMAR is a Reliable Option for LTC

Our overall experience has been positive. It is sometimes hard to get prompt response from support when there is a problem, but this seems to be slowly improving over the last year. Having used another eMAR system in concurrence, we appreciate how much easier this e-MAR is, how smoothly the integration usually works, and there are less steps for pharmacists and assistants involved as compared to other platforms. We have had a positive response after a software update changed the refill functionality to be very confusing and time consuming. After our complaints, a change was made in a timely manner that was much more user friendly. There has been an increase in their responsiveness to requests in the last few years.

Pros:

We like the visual layout of the system. It is easy to tell on one screen if all the meds for the current day have been signed off. The integration with Kroll is almost seamless.

Cons:

There is no alert to missed meds on previous days. No scanning capabilities. No integration with Momentum although it has been promised for years.

Reasons for choosing eMAR

Better functionality, more user friendly, less costly, less pharmacist and nursing time to manage.

Dear Michele, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Thank you for the kind words, and also for your honesty. We want to make every customer's experience great, and we appreciate you pointing out these issues, so we can fix them!

It is a comprehensive software for all aspects of nursing in our facility, we rely on it for charting under all categories and broadly sharing relevant documents for each resident, for nursing to billing.

EMAR excellence

Overall experience is fantastic using e-Mar. In previous years of working with Paper mars, the e-mar is much more efficient. Smaller chance of errors with missed medications or missed residents. Saves time with not needing to check and double check the paper mar orders at the end of every month to be sure everything is on the new months paper mar.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Resident photos - photo disappears once meds administered to resident Shows only those who have meds due at administration times Ability to sort by room or name Ability to mark residents on LOA Ability to write notes Description of medication is provided Efficient use of time as no longer need to check and double check orders every month against next month mars as done in past with paper mars

Cons:

Unable to change a prn medication once it has been administered. Very occasional staff have hit administered to a prn and then the resident changes their mind. Unable to fix this when it is a prn. With scheduled medication you are able to go back in and adjust. Occasionally staff would mark a resident as away or as in hospital and then they return and meds need to be given. These meds you have the ability to go back in and change the away to administered.

Dear Michelle, thank you for leaving us such a wonderful review. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day.

Very Grateful for MEDe-care Software, Implementation and Support Teams

As mentioned previously, I think the MEDe-care implementation team is amazing! Their support team is also extremely helpful and responsive. I have had the privilege of working with the MEDe-care team for over 10 years now and I really don't know what I would do without them!

Pros:

MEDe-care's eMAR is straightforward to use and can be used for a variety of healthcare environments. Training new users is easy and feedback is always positive as they enjoy the simplicity and flexibility of the application. The MEDe-care e-MAR implementation team is AMAZING; they are always available when needed and truly go above and beyond to ensure set-up is done correctly with minimal disruption to all parties involved.

Cons:

From a pharmacy perspective, there are some features related to user/site set-up and the ability to modify orders that could be improved, but MEDe-care is excellent at responding to customer feedback and when able to, will regularly release updates to improve functionality accordingly.

Vendor Response

Del, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! You will be pleased to know that our new Manage Order screen offers the ability to move orders from MAR to TAR and vice versa. We hold our commitment to product improvement and excellent service to our customers and partners like you!

Pros:

setting up the patients profile is quick and easy as long as the MAR ID is accepted on the first try and not having to waste time going back and forth to get it to stay.

Cons:

I feel that with not knowing the nursing side very well that questions such as insulin dosing with a sliding scale and prn which are 1 to 2, if the nursing staff are able to enter the units given as well as if the patient received 1 tab or 2. These questions come to me from the home we provide meds to that are being medicated.
