Administration overview

Orders administered in myAvatar eMAR are prescribed by the practitioner in the myAvatar Clinician Workstation (CWS) Order Entry module.

• The practitioner can add, remove, or renew orders at any time in the Order Entry system.
• Clients are listed in eMAR according to filter selections. To be listed in eMAR, a client must be located in a unit and have at least one active order on the selected date.
• Active orders have a start date before or equal to the administration date and a stop date equal to or later than the administration date.
• Orders are considered active for an administration date if:
  • The order start date is before or equal to the order administration data.
  • The order stop date is equal to or later than the order administration date.
  • The order has a discontinue date equal to or later than the order administration date.
  • Stop and Discontinue dates can be set for a future date. If an order contains both a stop date and discontinue date, the earlier date and time are used as the order effective stop date and time.

The basic workflow of administering an order is:

• Pharmacy Verification (If required)
• Order Acknowledgement (If required)
• Client Education (If requested)
• Order Administration

Note: The value for the Prevent Administration Events for Unverified Pharmacy Orders registry setting determines whether an unverified order can be administered.
