Reducing Medication Errors with eMAR
While you are a patient at Sky Ridge Medical Center, you receive your medications through an Electronic Medication Administration Record known as eMAR. Hospitals that use eMAR have successfully reduced medication errors by 88%.
Your nurse scans each of your medications — similar to the scanning process at the grocery store — as well as your identification band. This ensures that we have the:
- Right patient
- Right medication
- Right dose
- Right route
- Right time
- Right allergy identification
