eMAR
eMAR your carers actually complete on the round
Revitaco replaces the paper MAR chart with an electronic medication administration record. Every dose is signed for at the point of care, PRN and controlled drugs are handled properly, and the audit trail is ready for inspection.
Why eMAR
Safer medicines, less paperwork
Paper MAR charts are easy to leave blank and hard to audit. Electronic records fix both.
Recorded at the point of care
Carers sign for each medicine on a phone or tablet as the round happens, not from memory afterwards. The record reflects what was actually given.
Nothing quietly missed
The round shows what is due, and late or missed administrations are flagged rather than left as a blank box on a paper chart.
Inspection-ready evidence
Every administration, refusal, and omission is time-stamped in a complete, tamper-evident record you can show at a CQC inspection.
Features
Everything the medicines round needs
Built around how a real round works, on the devices carers already carry
Medication rounds
A clear, guided round view of who is due what, when. Sign for each medicine, or record a refusal or omission with a reason.
- Due-dose view
- Refusal and omission codes
- Reason capture
PRN (as-required) medicines
Record the indication and maximum dose for each as-required medicine, so staff know what it is for and how much to give, and note the effect afterwards.
- Indication recorded
- Maximum dose
- Effect noted
Controlled drugs
Record controlled-drug administrations against the resident and keep the running detail an inspector expects to see.
- CD administration records
- Running detail
- Audit trail
Works offline
Revitaco is an offline-first app: carers keep recording in Wi-Fi dead spots, and the medicines round syncs automatically when connectivity returns.
- No dead-spot gaps
- Automatic sync
- Any tablet or phone
Immutable audit trail
Who administered what, when, and any later note, all held in an event-sourced record that cannot be quietly altered after the fact.
- Time-stamped
- Tamper-evident
- Exportable
CQC-ready by design
Medicines management is central to the CQC Safe key question. Clean eMAR records are the evidence, gathered as a by-product of the round.
- Safe-domain evidence
- No end-of-shift catch-up
- Ready to export
