oneMAR Description

The immediate exchange of medication and patient details fosters teamwork among care groups, including pharmacies, creating a genuine partnership in delivering patient care. Utilizing bar-code scanning during medication administration upholds the “7 rights”: the correct resident, medication, dosage, timing, method, rationale, and documentation. Capturing digital images of each resident and their medications ensures that administration remains precise. Alert notifications help prevent incidents such as missed doses and administering medications to the wrong resident, thereby enhancing safety. Scanning at the point of care not only identifies which medications are due for administration but also clearly indicates when any medications have been stopped. By integrating bar-coded adherence packaging with oneMAR, healthcare facilities can achieve a 2.6-fold increase in efficiency compared to traditional manual medication administration records, cut down medication pass durations by 52%, and eliminate the costs associated with monthly inventory changes. Additionally, sending electronic prescriptions and supply orders directly to the pharmacy streamlines the overall medication management process, improving patient care even further. This technology-driven approach represents a significant advancement in ensuring both accuracy and efficiency in medication administration.
