edit: The latest BCMA study is a very good one. <http://www.ajhp.org/cgi/content/abstract/66/12/1110> Finally we have an observational study that compares eMAR to BCMA. The results are astonishing. The only benefit seen was in an improvement in wrong time errors. Given the time, energy and cost (upwards of $1+ million/hospital) to implement this technology and the only benefit is improvement in time errors, perhaps it is time to start to evaluate re-evaluate the need for this technology. The ROI picture is getting bleaker.
