Med Cart Features

Contemporary med carts are sturdy in construction and adaptable in use. They are made of lightweight aluminum and contain a steadfast inner framework. This flexibility allows the facility to create a customized cart for their specific needs.

Assisted Living Facilities can determine what type of medicine cart or unit dose cart they require. Questions they might ask themselves: what type of organization is necessary for patient records, what accessories for the cart will be needed, like amount of dividers and placement of chart holders? In addition, what safety mechanisms are available for narcotic lock boxes and Sharps disposal systems?

Size of the facility is another consideration. Will a multiple of small carts be used to cover a larger facility? Will one sizable cart do? Will only a small cart be needed to dispense medications to as few as ten residents or is a medium-sized cart necessary in order to service more residents.

Med cart options vary; therefore, the amount of assessment questions Assisted Living Facilities need to ask themselves is immense. In the end, what is generated is a custom-made med cart that adapts to each facility.
