Logging In and Out of eMAR

eMAR allows you to electronically document administration of medications. You can log into eMAR from a tablet or kiosk. If accessible from your tablet or kiosk, you can also login directly from PointClickCare, allowing full access to the EHR. 

Logging out ensures your session is securely closed.  

Logging In

  1. From the eMAR login screen, select your method of login: Keyboard Entry, Barcode Entry, or Swipecard Entry.

    Note

    You can also access eMAR directly from the PointClickCare web application:  Clinical > eMAR.

  2. Click Login.

    Note

    Before documenting, check the day, shift, and location. If this information is incorrect, click Edit Assignment Date.

Logging Out

  • Click the Door Icon

    Note

    If you do not document and save within a specified period of time, you are automatically logged out of the application and any unsaved information or documentation is lost.

 Hiding the Screen

You can hide the screen if you need to be away from the screen for a short time, such as during administration of medications. Hiding the screen makes it more difficult for others to access resident information and lets other staff know the kiosk is in use.

  1. Click the gold padlock icon to hide the screen.

  2. Click the word Hidden to show the screen.

    Note

    Hiding the screen does not provide as much protection as logging out. Anyone who knows that clicking the word hidden shows the screen can see the chart you are working on without entering login information. It is strongly recommended that you select the proper action, hiding or logging out, for your situation.
