Care Control eMAR is an App that allows Care and Nursing Homes to better manage the administration process of service user medication.

With CC eMAR, the care home can: - • Store electronically all of the service user prescription details • Load prescription schedules, including complex schedules • Allow the system to drive the administration process • Store and process Homely Remedy medication • Support for PRN • Access and Print a Medication MAR Chart • Run stock reports • And much, much more…
