    The document describes the benefits and limitations of paper and electronic medication administration records (MARs). Some key benefits of paper MARs include reduced upfront costs, ease of use in a familiar format, and easier customization. However, paper MARs can lack backups and security, be time consuming and error prone, and have inconsistent layouts with no clear audit trails. Benefits of electronic MARs incorporate less emphasis on paperwork, increased efficiency, and more accurate documentation. However, limitations comprise physicians doing less independent research outside the eMAR system, employees still uncomfortable with the new technology, and potential issues with pulling notes forward or copy-and-pasting. The document provides references to support the assessment.
