For PMR and care software companies

Are you a PMR company? Let's make our systems talk.

Pharmacies dispense from their PMR and supply care homes that record every dose on eMAR. Today the same medicines get typed into both — and every retype is time lost and a chance for a mistake. Connect your system to ours, and the customers we share get one joined-up process, from the prescription to the resident's MAR chart.

Meeting PMR and software companies at Care Show Birmingham — 7–8 October, Hall 3, NEC.

Your PMR eMAR
  1. PMR → eMAR Dispensed: Amlodipine 5mg, 28 tablets On Janet Boyle's chart at Oakfield House, waiting for a nurse to check.
  2. eMAR → PMR Delivered and booked into stock Signed for by the home at 14:12 — no phone call to confirm.
  3. eMAR → PMR Running low: reorder due Flagged in the pharmacy's system before the home has to ring.
How a connected pharmacy could work. Names are illustrative.

Your customers are already using both

Two good systems. One pharmacy typing everything twice.

A pharmacy supplying care homes lives in two places: its PMR for dispensing, and eMAR for the homes it supplies. Right now a person is the connection between them.

Today, not connected
  • Medicines dispensed in the PMR are typed again onto each resident's eMAR chart
  • A dose change mid-cycle is phoned or emailed through, then keyed in twice
  • The home rings the pharmacy when a medicine runs low
  • Two records of the same medicine that can quietly drift apart
Together, connected
  • Dispensed once, and on the resident's chart for a person to check
  • A change in the PMR reaches the MAR chart without anyone retyping it
  • Low stock in the home becomes a reorder prompt in the pharmacy's system
  • One medicine, identified by the same dm+d code on both sides

How our systems would talk

From the prescription to the bedside, and back to the pharmacy.

Each step is marked with where it happens — so you can see what your system already does, what eMAR already does, and the gaps a connection would close.

  • Your PMR
  • In eMAR today
  • The connection we'd build
  1. Your PMR

    Dispense

    The pharmacy dispenses for a care home resident, exactly as it does today.

  2. The connection

    Onto the chart

    The medication arrives on the resident's eMAR chart, waiting for a person at the home or pharmacy to check and confirm.

  3. In eMAR today

    Deliver

    The driver app records proof of delivery, and the home books the medicines into stock.

  4. In eMAR today

    Give

    Carers scan the pack at the bedside and every dose lands on the MAR chart, with a name and a time.

  5. The connection

    Reorder

    What's running low, and what's needed for the next cycle, flows back to the pharmacy's system.

Why it's worth building

Better for the pharmacy, the home — and you.

For the pharmacy

No second round of typing for every home it supplies, fewer transcription errors to catch, and reorders that arrive before the phone rings.

For the care home

A MAR chart that matches what was dispensed, without chasing the pharmacy — and fewer discrepancies when the delivery is checked in.

For your company

Give the pharmacies that supply care homes a joined-up process without building an eMAR yourself — with a partner who builds the connection alongside you.

Not a PMR?

We want to talk to care management and home care platforms too (so the care plan and the MAR chart stay in step), and to GP, clinical and pharmacy software that sits next to the medication round.

Working together

How an integration with us happens.

  1. Talk

    At Care Show Birmingham or on a call: your product, how it exchanges data today, and which of your customers already use eMAR.

  2. Map the workflow

    Together, with a pharmacy we both serve — what should move between our systems, when, and who checks it.

  3. Build and test

    We build the connection with your team and test it against demo data — never against real residents.

  4. Pilot, then roll out

    Start with shared customers who want it. They switch the connection on, and can switch it off.

On every integration

  • The customer's switchThe pharmacy or home whose data it is turns the connection on.
  • Nothing stops workingIf the connection is down, both systems carry on as they do today.
  • A person checks what's clinicalA new prescription arrives to confirm, never as already given.

Let's talk

Are you a PMR company? Let's integrate.

Tell us about your system and your customers. We'll bring the people who'd build the connection, and work out together how our systems can help the customers we share.

  • At the show — meet us in Birmingham on 7 or 8 October
  • Or on a call — whenever suits your team
  • No commitment — the first conversation is about your customers' process

Questions

What PMR companies ask first.

Do you have an API we can connect to?

We build each integration with the partner, around the workflow our shared customers actually run — so the first conversation is about the process, not the endpoint. Tell us how your system exchanges data today, whether that's an API, file exports or messaging, and we'll work out the connection together.

Does a pharmacy need to change how it works?

No. Pharmacists keep dispensing from their PMR and care homes keep recording doses in eMAR. The connection removes the retyping between the two; it doesn't replace either system. If it's ever unavailable, both carry on exactly as they do today.

Who controls the data?

The pharmacy or care home whose data it is. They switch a connection on, and they can switch it off. We'll work through information governance with each partner before any live data moves.

How are medicines matched between our systems?

eMAR's medicines catalogue is built on the NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices (dm+d), down to the pack — so a medicine can be identified the same way on both sides. If you exchange data using FHIR or another standard, tell us.

We're a pharmacy using a PMR, not a software company.

Tell us which PMR you use when you book a demo — it tells us who to talk to, and the more pharmacies ask, the sooner a connection gets built.
