Compare CaraSolva vs. oneMAR

CaraSolva provides a cloud-based Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) and point-of-care documentation system designed for the IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) and HCBS markets. The suite replaces legacy paper charting with a browser-accessible platform that runs on standard mobile hardware (iOS/Android tablets). Core Components: MedSupport (eMAR): Digitizes the medication pass. Features include sterile logic for scheduling, PRN management, and automated alerts for missed doses. Interfaces directly with LTC pharmacy systems to sync orders and reduce transcription errors. CareSupport: A module for tracking ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), vitals, and therapy sessions at the point of care. BehaviorSupport: Digital tracking for Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), allowing staff to log targeted behaviors and interventions in real-time. Reporting: Health Analytics (Power BI) for agency-wide compliance and health trend tracking. Technical Context: Deployment: Fully hosted SaaS. Security: HIPAA-compliant architecture with off-site redundancy. Integration: Supports HL7/proprietary interfaces for pharmacy data synchronization. Target Environment: Ideal for sysadmins and operations directors in Long Term Care facilities, Nursing Homes, and Group Homes looking to deprecate paper logs and centralize health data management.

The immediate exchange of medication and patient details fosters teamwork among care groups, including pharmacies, creating a genuine partnership in delivering patient care. Utilizing bar-code scanning during medication administration upholds the “7 rights”: the correct resident, medication, dosage, timing, method, rationale, and documentation. Capturing digital images of each resident and their medications ensures that administration remains precise. Alert notifications help prevent incidents such as missed doses and administering medications to the wrong resident, thereby enhancing safety. Scanning at the point of care not only identifies which medications are due for administration but also clearly indicates when any medications have been stopped. By integrating bar-coded adherence packaging with oneMAR, healthcare facilities can achieve a 2.6-fold increase in efficiency compared to traditional manual medication administration records, cut down medication pass durations by 52%, and eliminate the costs associated with monthly inventory changes. Additionally, sending electronic prescriptions and supply orders directly to the pharmacy streamlines the overall medication management process, improving patient care even further. This technology-driven approach represents a significant advancement in ensuring both accuracy and efficiency in medication administration.
