Pharmacies are under more pressure than ever. Rising prescription volumes, staffing shortages and growing expectations for accuracy and safety have made it clear that the old ways of managing medications are no longer enough. Automation has become the key to keeping pace with modern healthcare. It saves time, reduces errors and helps providers focus more on patients.
Capsa Healthcare has stepped up as a leader in this space. With decades of experience and a broad solutions portfolio, Capsa is helping healthcare organizations of all sizes embrace the future of pharmacy automation. From automated dispensing cabinets to central fill systems, and from mobile carts to innovative packaging tools, Capsa offers end-to-end solutions that transform how medications move from pharmacy shelves to patients’ hands.
Automated Dispensing
Dispensing errors are one of the most persistent healthcare risks. A recent meta-analysis found a global pooled prevalence of 1.6% for medication dispensing errors across communities, hospitals and pharmacies. These errors don’t just threaten patient safety, but add costs, create inefficiencies and increase stress for staff already stretched thin. Automated dispensing solves this by putting the right medications in the right hands, at the right time.
Capsa’s KL1V Tablet Counter is compact and easy to use, helping pharmacies to count prescriptions with precision at a fraction of the time it would take manually. By reducing human error and speeding up workflows, the KL1V increases efficiency and frees pharmacists and technicians to focus on higher-value clinical tasks. For busy pharmacies, it’s a tool that turns a daily bottleneck into a streamlined process. What makes it stand out is its versatility:
- Fast, accurate prescription counting that ensures the correct dose every time
- Auditing capabilities for inventory and robotic cassettes and canisters
- Daily counts to support perpetual inventory systems
- Workflow relief that frees technicians and pharmacists for clinical care and patient engagement
Medication Management
Medication management doesn’t stop once the prescription is counted. Keeping drugs secure, organized and readily available is equally critical, especially in high-pressure care environments. Capsa has built a suite of solutions to support clinicians at the point of care, with the Avalo medication cart line leading the way.
Avalo carts are engineered for flexibility. Whether a facility needs a medication cart for daily patient rounds, an emergency cart for rapid response, an anesthesia cart for surgery or a treatment cart for specialized procedures, Avalo adapts to the task. Each model emphasizes secure storage, smooth mobility and ergonomic design to ease staff strain during long shifts.
With configurable options, healthcare organizations can tailor Avalo carts to fit their exact workflows. These carts enhance efficiency, reduce interruptions and give caregivers the tools to provide safer, more attentive patient care.
Central Fill
Prescription demand is climbing. In many markets, annual prescription volumes are expected to grow by approximately 4%, primarily driven by aging populations and chronic disease prevalence. Pharmacies are under pressure to deliver faster service without sacrificing accuracy. Manual processes can’t keep up. Central fill automation provides a way forward, allowing high-volume operations to process prescriptions at scale quickly and consistently.
Capsa’s central fill systems are purpose-built to handle large prescription loads with precision. They automate repetitive tasks like sorting, labeling and filling, reducing bottlenecks that slow down service. By integrating seamlessly into existing pharmacy operations, central fill systems free pharmacists to focus on clinical care, counseling and direct patient interactions.
For organizations looking to expand capacity while maintaining quality, Capsa’s central fill solutions are a strategic investment. They increase efficiency, improve turnaround times and strengthen patient satisfaction.
scripClip
Even after medications are filled, pharmacies often face one last hurdle — getting the right prescription to the right patient, quickly and without error. This is where mistakes, delays or misplaced orders often occur. Statistics reveal that between 5% and 41.3% of hospital admissions are medication-related.
scripClip is a best-in-class automated will call system available to retail and outpatient pharmacies. Instead of requiring costly remodeling, scripClip uses LED-enabled hanging prescription bags and clips to guide staff through every step of order preparation, storage and retrieval.
The benefits include:
- Operational efficiency: Staff can locate prescriptions faster, reduce return-to-stock time and work confidently.
- Accuracy and compliance: Technology-guided retrieval lowers the chance of misfiled or lost prescriptions, improves patient safety and supports HIPAA compliance.
- Customer satisfaction: Patients receive their prescriptions quickly and reliably, while staff gain a smoother, less stressful workflow.
By automating will call retrieval and ensuring every order is tracked from storage to pickup, scripClip improves pharmacy efficiency at the point where it matters most — the patient experience.
