A hospital drug dispensing cart is provided with discrete compartments with each of the compartments corresponding to an individual hospital patient. An individual drug dispensing tray is placed in each compartment for each patient. The trays each consist of a row of drug storage bins with an attached correspondent chart. The chart, typically attached by a hinge to the tray, is movable from a vertical storage position to a horizontal indicating and recording position. In operation, the drug dispensing cart is moved to the vicinity of the patient where the individual drug dispensing tray for that particular patient is removed. The chart attached to the tray is moved from its vertical storage position to its horizontal indicating and recording position. Dispensing information for each drug in each bin is indicated and recorded in columns which correspond in width to the corresponding width of the drug storage bin and extend away from the corresponding drug storage bin in columns on the chart. Time of drug dispensing is indicated by horizontal rows across the vertical columns on the chart for each drug storage bin. Registry of a horizontal guide with the appropriate time of the drug dispensing route for the cart produces horizontal indication underlying each drug bin of the particular drug to be dispensed.
