eMAR systems remove the need for paper-based MAR charts. Digitally linking care homes to GP’s and pharmacy dispensing systems, giving care providers a safe and efficient way to request medication directly from GPs, and manage their medication rounds. 

eMAR systems help organisations transform how residents and carers experience and deliver care, from tracking medication administration to managing stock and inventory medications in real-time. Person Centred Software’s eMAR system, an NHS-accredited system, massively decreases the potential risk of medication errors. It also gives carers more time to spend with residents instead of completing and checking paperwork or making phone calls regarding medication. 

One of the advantages of eMAR in health and social care is its flexibility; resident records are stored on a centralised, digital system, allowing for easier access among staff. Care home residents tend to have multiple medical conditions and therefore require specific types of medication. It is essential that all staff can access resident records so they can tailor care to individual residents’ needs.  

Having an eMAR system in place will always help your organisation be ready for a CQC inspection at any time.  

Person Centred Software’s eMAR system supports CQC audits and guidelines by allowing care staff to: 

• Provide evidence when it comes to CQC inspections. 

• Provide CQC inspectors with detailed information which is easy to interpret and follow. 
• Give CQC a good understanding of the level of care residents are receiving 

It has been shown that eMAR systems significantly improve CQC ratings because it gives care providers and CQC all the information they need, making it easy to keep an audit trail.  

With Person Centred Software’s eMAR, you can demonstrate to the CQC that your organisation is safe, responsive and well-led in your medication administration.
