Our Pharmacy uses KitCheck to make our crash cart trays. There is a standardized layout for the meds within the trays. A med list and map of the meds within the tray are included with each tray.

The nurses are asking that each section of the tray be labeled with the meds it contains. Once the trays are filled, most of these labels would be blocked. Also, some sections have multiple meds in them, e.g., section for Abbojects. I also want the staff to actually look at the meds they are grabbing, versus focusing on a tray label.

Has anyone moved away from labeling their trays? Are there any best practices or literature out there that makes a statement one way or the other on this topic?

Thanks
