Medication carts are an integral part of quality resident care.  Medication carts allow the care giver to bring needed medications and necessary supplies to the point of care.  This can save valuable time by having everything with you and not having to go back to a central station to retrieve something that may have been needed but was forgotten.

Medication carts are not only used to store medication. They may also serve as storage for blood pressure cuffs, thermometers, and other needed supplies. Having a cart that is easy to maneuver, organized and locked, helps prevent medication errors and wasted time.

A quality medication cart should have a secure locking system including a lock with a removable/replaceable core.  Wheels should offer some assistance with directional control and there should be at least one wheel brake to keep the cart stationary.

Useful accessories are also an important part of the medication pass and should not be overlooked.  Do the accessories include a spacious supply and waste container, as well as the ability to include a sharps/glove cabinet and some additional storage for liquids and or powdered meds?   Does the medication cart have an additional shelf or drop leaf for extra workspace if needed? 

The Prestige Medication Cart from Rx Care Assurance answers all of these questions.  In addition to having a State of the Art look and feel, they offer a quality locking system, useful accessories including a sharps/glove cabinet, track wheels and a pocket shelf for added workspace.  For all these reasons, the Prestige Medication Cart is a great solution for your medication pass needs.
