Pros

It is a comprehensive software for all aspects of nursing in our facility, we rely on it for charting under all categories and broadly sharing relevant documents for each resident, for nursing to billing.

Cons

Sometimes charting close to midnight with the change over in days can act strangely, but support can fix these issues when necessary.

System is much better than using paper MARs. Support from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] in the training, the set up and helping us navigate the system and make sure we were adding users corrects was phenomenal!

Pros

Great support to get set up. User friendly, very good help section

Cons

While it took some time for us to all become familiar with it, there wasn't anything we did not like

As mentioned previously, I think the MEDe-care implementation team is amazing! Their support team is also extremely helpful and responsive. I have had the privilege of working with the MEDe-care team for over 10 years now and I really don't know what I would do without them!

Pros

MEDe-care's eMAR is straightforward to use and can be used for a variety of healthcare environments. Training new users is easy and feedback is always positive as they enjoy the simplicity and flexibility of the application. The MEDe-care e-MAR implementation team is AMAZING; they are always available when needed and truly go above and beyond to ensure set-up is done correctly with minimal disruption to all parties involved.

Cons

From a pharmacy perspective, there are some features related to user/site set-up and the ability to modify orders that could be improved, but MEDe-care is excellent at responding to customer feedback and when able to, will regularly release updates to improve functionality accordingly.

Pros

The software is very user friendly and simple to use. You do not have to be a technical genius to use the software.

Cons

It would be beneficial if there was a tracking or billing system in place so that the medication billing could be simplified and I believe that it would make our med admin system more efficient, thereby saving nursing staff time

The product itself is great. It does the job if used correctly. The people behind the scenes supping the product and the customers are fabulous and don't get the credit they deserve. Other software firms focus on sales. They forget product development and they certainly skimp on support. This doesn't happen with MED eCare.

Pros

The Dashboard is great. It provides a clear snapshot of important management information which can be used to quickly analyse data and correct anything that needs attention. The various reports and ease of access to data is something that saves Management a considerable amount of time when completing audits. The product offering itself is vast and comprehensive. Most importantly, it's the people behind the product. The support is fantastic. From implementation all the way through to live support several years later.

Cons

Not so much something with the software but generally speaking, integrations with care planning companies (at least the main players) would be hugely beneficial.

Alternatives considered

[Omnicell](https://www.capterra.com/p/210657/Omnicell/)

Reasons for choosing eMAR

The people I dealt with were most honest during the sales process. This product had some features which others didn't (although they may now have them). The founder/creator of the product was/is a nurse. Some other products were a little too new to market for my liking.
