L'ers: I searched the archives and could not find much information on this topic so I appreciate any feedback you are willing to provide. I need to get a general consensus for whether or not supplements are on your eMAR for those hospitals live with BMV/eMAR. The literature suggests keeping the amount of non-medications on the eMAR to a minimum and I do not consider Ensure and Boost a medication. I would rather enter a timed intervention in Nursing and document the supplements in this manner. Other ideas? For hospitals live with CPOE and BMV/eMAR, does this make a difference on whether or not you add the dietary supplements to the eMAR? Thank you in advance.

No dietary supplements in the eMAR, only medications!! Janice B Lisee RNC, BSN Senior Systems Analyst Frederick Memorial Hospital 240-566-3437 <mailto: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -

Us, too, they are entered as a diet order. We did not include a number of things we use to write on the paper MAR. Sue Gretz, RN Upper Chesapeake Health, Md. - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -

In our case, it depends.  If the supplement comes up from Pharmacy, it is on the Emar. If it comes from Dietary, it isn't.  Don't really know why some come from pharmacy and some comes from Dietary. - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -

Ooops. Forgot to add we use Nursing interventions for some things as well. Sue - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -

We also do not put dietary supplements on the eMAR.  It was a very happy day when we removed these products from the Pharmacy and sent them to the kitchen.  Kathy Kathy Craig, R.Ph.
