SECURE
Sapphire eMAR is fully HIPAA compliant, and contains enhanced security features. Additionally, your data is secure with a clustered server architecture which enables immediate recovery in the event of a server hardware failure. Data is also stored off site and at a second additional backup site. Sapphire persistently stores all information to prevent any sort of data loss.

CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR NEEDS
Sapphire allows your facility to set multiple custom user roles and permissions, allowing even greater control over security. Medications may be set up and categorized as controlled, OTC or Keep On Person, and your default HOA schedules can be set or customized to meet your facility’s needs. Sapphire also offers your staff the ability to set up custom reasons for PRN’s, inventory adjustments, non-formulary selections, discontinued orders as well as MedPass refusals or absences. Settings may also be adjusted to require secondary credentials for destroying non-controlled stock or non-controlled and controlled patient medications.

Options to set a default days supply of medications, allow/not allow KOP designation for specific patients, and split and merge patient charts also add to the efficiency of Sapphire.

ORDER ENTRY

From there, Sapphire learns prescribing patterns and features a custom direction builder, with the ability to enter allergies and distribution type (staff administered vs. KOP). The patient chart provides all necessary information such as currently and previously prescribed medications, start and end dates, prescriber, staff activity, refill and reorder dates, doses administered and individual MAR’s. Changes are easy to make in the patient’s profile and in the order status. For ease of use, your pharmacy’s entire medication inventory is displayed for selection. Brand, generic and synonym name searches will also assist your staff in selecting the proper medication. Medication selections auto-complete and automatic generic conversions are utilized for cost containment. For your facility, medication selections are broken down into most commonly prescribed per specific patient and also by most commonly prescribed per facility. Duplicate therapy warnings are also issued. Once orders are received utilizing our reconciliation program, they are automatically populated onto the MAR.
