UCapIt Controlled Substance Bag

How do you maintain accountability once controlled medications leave the station?

Once controlled medications leave the station, maintaining accountability becomes significantly more difficult because traditional solutions like lockboxes, adhesive seals, and manual logs were not designed for the fast-paced and mobile nature of EMS operations. This gap creates several operational challenges, including lapses in custody during transport, handoffs, and multi-agency responses, as well as limited real-time visibility after the medication bag leaves the ambulance. Additionally, reliance on manual logging can result in incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate records, making audits and reviews more cumbersome than necessary. As a result, agency leaders need improved visibility while crews require secure and streamlined access, capabilities that the UCapIt Controlled Substance Bag is designed to provide.
