The system should provide greater efficiency through automation in filling and maintaining kits/trays, full accountability of all lot numbers/expiration dates throughout the KCVA site healthcare network, with RFID barcode technology to ensure accurate filling and provides significant time savings for KCVA Pharmacy staff. Plastic fabricated medication trays are compatible with Kit Check. Dividers cannot be solely used for this process because pharmacy staff will need to be able to transfer the medications from the Kit Check System to the medication crash carts by utilizing the trays for easy transfer. Requirements: The medication trays dimensions need to measure 21.5 W x 15.25 L x 5 H and they must be made out of plastic. The design and layout must be customized in a specific way to accommodate the variety of medications stored in these trays. Ideal design for the medication trays: The Kansas City VAMC has an existing Kit Check RFID System in which there are only specific medication trays compatible with this system. All fabricated trays and additional accessories such as rails, dividers, and clips, will be shipped to Kansas City VAMC by the vendor. Medication trays must be compatible with the existing Kit Check system.
