The Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR)
has gained a foothold in inpatient settings to support
medication administration safety. With paper records prone
to being lost, incomplete, or misread, the bedside nurse
needs a fail-safe method to ensure that medications are
administered correctly. Medication administration systems
that integrate fully with computerized physician order
entry (CPOE) and pharmacy systems should provide that
fail-safe system, while improving efficiency. Even a standalone
medication administration system is a vast improvement
over paper medication administration records.
But for medication administration safety the eMAR system is only
as good as the drug database that supports it .

Within a hospital, drug therapies need to move quickly
and accurately from the prescribing physician to the
dispensing pharmacist and then to the bedside where
the nurse typically administers the drug.
As the medication administration safety check of last
resort, ideally the nurse can access all available data on
patient medications and their administration,
and reconcile the physician's order with what the
pharmacy has actually dispensed.
