Dear Colleagues:
eMAR, which advances patient safety by improving medication administration accuracy, has begun implementation in the Tower. We have learned much from our experience in the Connors Center, where eMAR was implemented in the fall. The first floors to use the new system have given it rave reviews for conveniently providing all relevant medication information right at the bedside.
To continue the smooth rollout of eMAR, we encourage all physicians who have not yet completed eMAR on-line training to do so. The training can be accessed from the Start menu. Simply select Partners Applications>Clinical References>CBTCourses> eMAR CBT.
Your feedback continues to be valuable as we push forward additional measures to advance patient safety at BWH. Please direct specific input for system enhancements and care delivery refinements to Drs. Gandhi or Gustafson.
Sincerely yours,
Steven Seltzer, MD
BWPO Chairman
