Medication management and workflows can be complex depending on different patient conditions. Prominent cloud-based EHR software vendor for independent practices, AdvancedMD EMR Software announced the launch of a new feature, eMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record). As the name suggests, eMAR is designed to handle and manage medications efficiently and safely. The new functionality is available inside the AdvancedMD Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Software that can help empower providers like never before.
Medication errors are a grave issue in the United States; according to the CDC, there are more than 1.5 million emergency cases due to adverse drug reactions. The electronic medication administration records can be utilized to reduce prescribing errors and administration mistakes to enhance patient safety levels.
Getting the Basics – What is eMAR?
The eMAR solution released by the AdvancedMD EMR System is a smart medication dashboard that can help nurses and providers by:
- Tracking patient medications when they require them.
- Alerts when patients need a certain medication.
- Records when the medication was given.
The integrated eMAR inside the EHR Software means that workflows are not disrupted and practices don’t need to purchase and maintain another software system. It is designed specifically for substance use disorder treatment, behavioral health, and long-term care.
What is the main purpose of the eMAR solution released by AdvancedMD EMR Software?
The goal is clear: the robust eMAR solution available inside the AdvancedMD EHR System will help improve medication workflows and administration. Practices using eMAR will realize that administrative burden is streamlined, the chances of medication errors also reduce, and there are major time savings for care teams.
How does the eMAR solution work?
Via the e-Prescribing EMR Software the provider electronically writes a prescription for a patient. This automatically shows in the eMAR solution inside the Electronic Medical Records Software. The eMAR system helps them efficiently schedule the medication. This automation from the eMAR solution works well to reduce manual errors and tracking issues. The staff can easily keep track of medications and even see missed doses.
Key Features of the AdvancedMD EMR Software eMAR solution
The comprehensive and powerful eMAR solution offers an array of tools that can make medication tracking and management a breeze so providers can focus on patient care better:
Central Medication Dashboard
From one place, the provider can track all medication-related activity. Providers can look at medication status without having to change screens.
Medication Inventory Management

Automated Medication Dispensing
Medication dispensing when automated can reduce manual errors and ensure medication delivery is at power.
Specialized Workflows
AdvancedMD EMR Software has designed the eMAR system for specialized specialties of behavioral health and methadone clinics. This can help practices stay compliant and meet DEA requirements.
