Electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR) Software for Private Duty Nursing Home Care Agencies
Private Duty nurses need to regularly administer the right medication in the right dosage at the right time. An electronic medication administration record can minimize the risk of errors. Unfortunately, most software designed for visit-based agencies does not provide adequate support for eMAR and eTAR.
Private Duty Nursing agencies should look for a software platform that provides efficient eMAR and eTAR functions. Simple, easy-to-use, and dynamic eMAR and eTAR functions will significantly reduce medication and treatment administration errors.
Home care agencies are painfully aware of the costs of rampant turnover. At nearly 80% turnover industry-wide, home care agencies can expect that 1 in every 4 employees hired will likely quit within the first 100 days of employment.

New nurses, CNAs, and caregivers often feel lost and overwhelmed due to the immense responsibility they hold for sometimes critically ill patients. Lack of proper support through these new challenges can lead to employee burnout, job dissatisfaction, and decreased patient care.
There are countless benefits to supporting new clinicians, including increased employee retention, increased employee referrals, and improved patient care.
