Medication safety doesn’t just rely on training. It relies on systems that support good decision-making in the moment.

We’ve introduced enhanced warning prompts in eMAR Plus to alert staff if paracetamol is recorded less than four hours after the previous dose.

Why does this matter? 💊

Because paracetamol is one of the most commonly administered medicines in care settings & timing errors can have serious consequences. Supporting staff with clear, real-time prompts reduces risk and strengthens medication governance.

This update provides:

🟣 Clear alerts before recording administration

🟣 Improved visibility of previous dose timing

🟣 Stronger digital audit trail

🟣 Added reassurance for care providers and pharmacy partners

In busy medication rounds, even experienced staff benefit from structured safeguards.

Smarter prompts. Safer administration. Stronger compliance.

If you’d like to see how eMAR Plus integrates with pouch dispensing and scanning workflows, we’d be happy to demonstrate.

Technology should empower, not overwhelm. 💻

In a high-pressure care environment, your team’s focus should be on the resident, not the paperwork. We designed eMAR Plus to be a digital partner that supports clinical judgement rather than replacing it.

By moving away from static paper charts, we’re giving healthcare professionals:

🕑 Real-time guidance during busy medication rounds.

🧠 Reduced cognitive load through automated alerts and reminders.

🛡️ A secure safety net that catches potential errors before they happen.

When staff feel supported by their tools, they can deliver care with complete confidence ✅

Is your medication system a safety net or just a filing cabinet? 🗄️

In a busy care home, interruptions are constant. With paper MARs, a missed signature or timing issue can sit unnoticed until the next audit, often weeks later.

eMAR Plus changes the dynamic from recording mistakes to preventing them in real time.

Instead of relying on memory or paperwork, the system actively supports your team:

🕒 Clear timing visibility – See what’s due, upcoming, or overdue at a glance.

🔒 Built-in safeguards – Safe administration windows help prevent early or late dosing.

⚠️ Real-time alerts – Missed administrations are flagged immediately, allowing same-shift review and action.

😌 Reduced pressure on staff – Guided, step-by-step prompts support safe medication rounds, even during busy shifts.

As Siobhan Brammeld, Residential Manager at Hutchinson Care Homes, shared, real-time alerts help ensure residents receive their medication “on time and exactly as prescribed.”

Move beyond paperwork. Give your team visibility, accountability, and confidence at every medication round.

When technology genuinely supports care, teams feel the difference.

“This technology has allowed us to ease the workload of our staff and have a more person-centred approach to medication administration.”

- Liz Blair, Senior Care Home Manager, Viewpark (Abercorn Care Ltd)

At eMAR Plus, our focus is simple:

🟣 Reduce unnecessary admin

🟣 Support safer medication rounds

🟣 Give care teams more time for residents

Because good digital systems should make care feel more human, not more complicated. 💜

12/02/2026

📝 Paper systems leave too much room for human error.

And in care settings, that risk is well documented.

📊 Research published via PubMed Central shows that nearly 70% of care home residents experience at least one medication error — often linked to missed or unclear records.

That’s where digital visibility matters.

With eMAR Plus, missed administrations are highlighted instantly, helping care teams act quickly and giving managers a clear, time-stamped audit trail.

✔️ Safer medication rounds

✔️ Clearer oversight

✔️ Stronger governance

Digital records don’t replace good care, they help protect it 💜

Great systems only work when staff feel confident using them 🤝

At eMAR Plus, training doesn’t stop at go-live. Our team stays with you, on site and on hand, until everyone feels supported.

“Training was absolutely fantastic… tailored to the needs of our residents and staff.”

- Helen Craig, Scheme Manager, Radius Housing

That’s how safer medication administration becomes part of everyday care, not an added pressure.

Reflecting on the NI Pharmacy Show, it’s clear that more connected medication processes are a top priority for both pharmacy and care teams. 🤝 PharmacyShows

When information is fragmented, it leads to heavy admin, endless follow-ups, and avoidable risk. That is why eMAR Plus was designed specifically with the pharmacy-to-care workflow in mind. 💊

🟣 Closing the Communication Gap: By providing a clear, live record, we remove the "paperwork silos" between the pharmacy and the care home.

🟣 Pharmacy-Led Integration: The system is built to sync directly with pharmacy dispensing, ensuring medication changes are seen instantly by care teams.

🟣 Enhanced Accuracy: When used with , pouch scanning adds a unique layer of verification at the point of administration, protecting the pharmacy's clinical work all the way to the resident.

The right technology should simplify medication management and make daily workflows more manageable for everyone involved.

Same care worker.

Same responsibility.

A very different experience.

🚩 On the left: paper MAR charts, manual checks, more room for error.

💊 On the right: eMAR Plus, real-time records, and PillPacPlus barcode scanning at the point of administration.

This is what safer medication management looks like in practice.

Less paperwork. More confidence. Better protection for residents and staff.
