EMERGENCY MEDICATION TRAY MANAGEMENT
CHALLENGE: Management and restocking of medication trays is another tedious, yet necessary,
pharmacy task. Many organizations have challenges coordinating the restocking workflow, relying
on paper logs and binders. Worse yet, they may have little oversight of the process once the tray
leaves the pharmacy.
SOLUTION: Simplifi+® MedTrays helps hospital pharmacies standardize emergency medication
tray management by removing manual processes and automating the tracking and inventory of
emergency medications.
“When looking at the solutions that were available in the market, we saw an opportunity to deliver
impact where it matters most — by helping busy pharmacies simplify the process of restocking
and managing medication trays. MedTrays offers consistent and efficient workflows to improve
accuracy, traceability, and oversight of critical medications distributed throughout the hospital or in
other care facilities,” says General Manager, Compliance and Surveillance Solutions, Karen Kobelski.
Simplifi+ MedTrays takes the effort out of emergency cart medication tray management
without the cumbersome implementation or high cost of RFID hardware or proprietary software
installation. Simplifi+ MedTrays can be customized to fit where it is most beneficial in a system
that has facilities of diverse sizes and needs.
OUTCOME: Implementing Simplifi+ MedTrays has brought many efficiencies for Southwest
Mississippi Regional Medical Center. According to Director of Pharmacy, Tiffany Poole, “Once we
migrated to Simplifi+® MedTrays, we officially retired the paper binders our team used to manage
medication tray restocking and management. Streamlining our workflow with MedTrays’ ability to
electronically trace medication lot numbers and expiration dates provides a significant value to my
team’s time and our ability to ensure overall patient safety.”
