ATLAS eMAR · Description
ATLAS eMAR is an electronic Medicines Management record system in social care to increase resident safety, improve efficiency and accountability.
ATLAS eMAR solution is unique in that it links the care provider and the pharmacy producing a closed loop system that allows bi-directional exchange of data. A secure web portal called ATLAS Central displays health records and holds important resources, and a pharmacy dispensing system; data is shared securely across theapplications giving permitted users access to a complete medicine record for anyindividual resident. In addition, the technology produces reports and analytics of activities on ATLAS Central than can be used for auditing and evidencing to support CQC inspections.ATLAS eMAR has been independently evaluated by Cardiff University as part of a Welsh Government Technology and Telehealth Funded project. The evaluation found that compared to traditional systems of medicines management ATLAS eMAR eradicated 21 out of 23 common error types, significantly improved accountability and saved an average of 65 staff hours per month associated withmedicines management. Over 90% of the care providers who used ATLAS eMAR said that they would never go back to the traditional systems for medicines management. In addition ATLAS eMAR has Open APIs that allows integration witha number of electronic care plan providers.
Once you have downloaded and installed the ATLAS eMAR app from the Playstore and registered your details, you will receive enrolment barcodes. On receipt of the barcodes click on ATLAS eMAR icon on your device. The set up wizard will require you to scan the enrolment barcodes. ATLAS eMAR will then download the appropriate data for yourcare setting and present you with the log in screen. Support is via our helpdesk on 01172001474 or support@ATLASeMAR.com.
The quality and safety of Medicines Management in care settings is dependent on processes at the GP surgery, care setting and the pharmacy. ATLAS’s workflows and processes are designed to significantly reduce / eliminate the risk of errors across all three settings.These workflow processes are carried out either on the ATLAS eMAR device at the care setting, on ATLAS Central accessible to care setting managers as web portal or on the dispensing system at the pharmacy. All three systems are linked and share information through the process of synchronisation see point 4 below and Figure 1.
ATLAS is designed to enable care providers to perform all the tasks that they traditionally perform using paper MAR charts. This includes the following:
1.Adding and editing resident details
2.Safe Administration of medicines to residents using barcode validation
3.Ordering of monthly medicines and prescription requests.
4.Flow of Information from that ATLAS eMAR device at the care setting, to ATLAS Central and the pharmacy system.
5.Pharmacy Dispensing is through a specific system that each pharmacy operates. This system links with ATLAS and there is one shared resident medication record. This link provides workflow benefits which are explained below.
6.Stock booking in at the care setting
It is these integrated workflow processes that have been proven by independent evaluation carried out by Cardiff University, to improve safety by eradicating 21/23 typical medicine error types, improved accountability by reducing missing MAR entries by 80% and by improving labour efficiency saving an average of 65 staff hours per care setting.
