BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MatrixCare announced today that it has entered into a National Pharmacy Integration and Electronic Medication Administration Record (“eMAR”) Agreement for Senior Living with Omnicare. The Agreement features MatrixCare’s next-generation CareAssist nursing platform which combines eMAR and Point-of-Care functionality to help streamline workflows while improving documentation for frontline caregivers in Assisted Living and Senior Living Communities.
