Abstract
A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes partitions defining compartments. The medication tray has a tray identifier associated therewith, and each compartment is for storing a respective medication having a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag associated therewith. The system may include an RFID tag reader, and a processor and an associated memory configured to maintain in the memory a desired respective medication within each compartment based upon the tray identifier, and cooperate with the RFID tag reader to determine the respective medication within each compartment based upon the respective RFID tag. The processor and associated memory may also be configured to determine a discrepancy between the determined medication within each compartment and the desired respective medication within each compartment, and when so generate a display notification that includes a visual indicator corresponding to each compartment determined to have the discrepancy.
