ATLAS eMAR: for existing customers

Pharmacy Integration

Dispensing processes tailored to your requirements 

Pharmacies connected to Person Centred Software’s ATLAS eMAR system follow a strict process for dispensing medication. Each prescription is scanned into an image that can be viewed on the centralised dashboard. Each medication item is barcode-validated to ensure it is correctly dispensed, and every label is issued with a barcode so it can be scanned on Atlas’s hand-held device.  

Choose your pharmacy 

As the number of pharmacies connected to Person Centred Software’s ATLAS system grows, you will be able to select from an increasing number of pharmacies to supply medications to your care home.  

Medication ordering

Connecting Care Homes and Pharmacies

The system digitally links care homes to pharmacy dispensing systems which improves the transparency of the process, saving time. 

Group Reporting

Create reports faster

The group reporting tool, also known as ATLAS Scorecard is an analytics tool designed especially for care homes, it provides a single rating for medicines management. Created for groups that want to compare performance between services, the group reporting tool takes data from ATLAS eMAR, allowing care homes to identify areas of improvement easily.

Centralised Dashboard

Barcode technology

Barcode safety 

Atlas's hand-held device, used by staff, shows the medications that should be administered. Simply pick the packet and scan the pharmacy label using the barcode reader. Atlas’s hand-held device runs automatic safety checks (medication, dose, timing, recipient) and flags up any potential issues.

Stock Control

Improved stock control

Balancing medicine stock levels is fundamental to good medicines management and plays a key part in the overall quality of service provided to residents in care homes. Atlas helps manage stock levels to avoid overstock whilst ensuring that medications don't run out. 

Optimisation of therapy

The reports available from the centralised dashboard  help to ensure that residents' therapies are reviewed effectively. For example, the Clinical Medication Report provides a snapshot of the current status of a resident’s medicines management and can be used to prompt effective review.

Improved practice

Atlas helps enforce good practices throughout care homes. Adherence to PRN policies, stock ordering protocols, homely remedies, topical creams and controlled drugs procedures is enforced on the system, which improves compliance, and issues such as missing entries on MAR charts become a thing of the past.
