  1. EMAR Presented by Alicia Carey, RN

  2. Given knowledge about eMAR, learners will be able to: • Describe and understand eMAR • Identify eMAR software and hardware • Identify usability of the software • Identify MediMARsystem • Identify eMAR competencies

  3. What is eMAR? What does eMAR stand for? • Electronic Medication Administration Record What does it do? • Allows for identification and evaluation of medications and medication administration.

  4. Emar enables… • Medication Identification • Medication Administration • Medication Research • Medication Assessment

  5. Hardware • Computers • Barcoding Devices • Identification Wristbands • PDA

  6. Barcoding devices Identifies “5 Rights” • Patient, Route, Dose, Time, and, Medication Handheld barcode scanning device • Scan medication barcode • Scan patient’s identification barcode (Polisher Research Institute & Ideas, 2009, Barcode Medication Administration, ¶ 1)

  7. Software • Wireless Bluetooth • Hand-held barcodes • Wi-Fi • eMAR

  8. Bluetooth • Transmits data or telecommunication signals • Uses Wireless Code readers • Uses Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)

  9. Usability • Axiom One • Axiom Two • Axiom Three

  10. Information System Example MediMAR • What is MediMAR? • What does MediMAR provide? • What is the software and Hardware involved? (Medcompare, 2009)

  11. MediMAR • What type of information system is this? • What health care professionals use this? • What functions does this enable the user to perform? • What configuration is used for this? (Edgar Online, 2009)

  12. Medimar • What data standards are used in this system? • What nursing practice standards classification scheme is used? • Implementing this trend?

  13. Advantages of eMar • Patient safety • Recording • Reduce medication administration errors • Legal issues • Easy to use and learn

  14. Disadvantages of emar • Privacy • Cost • Legal Issues • Not foolproof

  15. Ethical/Legal Issues • HIPPA Laws • Ethnicity and Religion • Malfunctions

  16. Informatics Competencies • Workshops • Testing/success • Representatives • Ongoing Learning

  17. Functions and Responsibilities • An informatics nurse must: • Find • Develop • Implement • Evaluate (McGonigle & Mastrain, 2009)

  18. Emar Summary • Aids in medication Identification and administration • Aids in medication research and assessment • Hardware involved is not difficult to use • Identifies “5 Rights” • Up to date software is involved

  19. Emar summary • Easy to use • MediMAR is an example of information systems • Provides patient safety • Reduces Medication Administration errors • Can malfunction

  20. Emar summary • Cannot evaluate ethnicity and religion of patient • Ongoing learning is always provided
