eMAR Corner
Stop and scan all solutions prior to administration regardless of the time. This includes any IV solution, PCA syringe or epidural bag. You will be asked to document the reason for the scan, e.g. new bag, infusing, stopped. Additional prompts to scan will occur at 8 a.m., 4 p.m. and midnight.
Stop and Refresh the computer screen when you are using multiple computers to view and administer medications via eMAR. When you think that medications may already have been administered but they are still appearing on the To Do List, refresh the screen. To refresh, press the F5 key; click on the Refresh tab; or click on the OE tab to access the pod monitor and then click on the eMAR tab to return to your patient’s To Do List. Any of these three actions will refresh the To Do List and update the screen to reflect the most recent eMAR activity.
