I do not see enough benefit for implementing eMAR without BMV to do it. BMV sell the eMAR part and your staff only make one adjustment to how they have done Meds since the cavemen!

Disadvantage: Not very pretty. It is sometimes hard to get a quick visual picture of what is going on (I realize 5.6 is better, but still not as pretty as Iatrics (in my opinion)). The Iatrics VFS MAR displays very nice, but not as quick to get to from the status board. If a nurse is documenting multiple meds, it probably makes sense. However, if just trying to document one med, it's considerable more clicks. Another advantage if the Iatrics is the ability to have custom reports linked to the order. Users can easily see customizable data. But I am torn to have users use it due to clicks to get there for just one or two meds. Any thoughts/perspectives would be appreciated. I see pros and cons with each option and would be very grateful for real life experience. Thanks in advance, respectfully submitted.
