This is an Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR). BestNotes may add functionality over time. This is a web based application and is meant to run within the Chrome browser on a tablet or PC (see links above).


The BestNotes eMar is designed to be used in the "Chrome" web browser, with a resolution of at least 1024x768. If you don't have chrome, you will want to download it before using the eMAR.

Permissions Required

Before using the eMAR, you will need the following information.


There are several permissions associated with the eMAR, and each has a specific purpose. 

eMAR Access

The eMAR Access permission allows you to access the eMAR, administer medications, and view reports.

This permission will activate the "eMAR" button when you login to the apps page. Any user that need to access the eMAR for any reason must have this permission.

eMAR Configure Settings

The eMAR Configure Settings permission allows you to configure settings in the eMAR. This permission should be heavily restricted. You must also have the eMAR Access permission.

This permission allows you to access the "Settings" area to create MedPass Groups, configure medpass settings, and setup the SigPad. 

eMAR Manage Patients

The eMAR Manage Patients permission allows you to access the patient settings. 

This permission allows you to manage medication inventory, and MedPass configuration on each patient's medications.

Edit Medications

This Edit Medications permission allows you to create and manage medications in BestNotes. 

The medications entered in the "Meds" tab in the Med/Clinical in BestNotes will be the medications that appear in the eMAR. If you are using DrFirst, those medications will also appear in the eMAR. You cannot add or update medications in the eMAR. This will need to be completed in DrFirst or BestNotes.
