Capsa’s New NexPak Addresses Medication Administration Efficiencies In Correctional Care
26 Abril 2024 - 8:12AM
Addressing the medication requirements of incarcerated individuals
in U.S. correctional facilities has grown more challenging,
particularly due to understaffing among nurses and a systemic delay
in adopting technology to optimize medication administration. To
mitigate these obstacles, correctional facilities are moving to
innovative approaches such as Capsa Healthcare's NexPak, which
streamlines medication management via advanced automation and
revamped workflows.

Capsa Healthcare, a leader in advanced healthcare
workflow solutions, has developed NexPak for on-demand packaging
and dispensing of medications directly in the facility in
convenient, safe, and efficient multi-dose packaging. By employing
in-facility packaging, medications are sorted into labeled
individual packets tailored to each patient's location anywhere in
the facility. NexPak significantly reduces the burden on
correctional nursing staff to prepare hundreds to thousands of
doses daily; processes that can currently take several hours are
cut down to less than an hour. By eliminating laborious medication
preparation and administration procedures, NexPak empower staff to
focus on more impactful responsibilities, fostering improved
adherence to treatment regimens, and contributing to the overall
wellness of the correctional facility’s patient population.
“The industry has long postponed modernization, but
the strain on the system persists due to increasing patient
complexities, mental health demands and an aging population. Now,
more than ever, we must embrace technology in correctional care,”
says Huan K. Nguyen, R.Ph. and Capsa Healthcare’s Vice President of
Pharmacy Automation. “Consider the benefits of automated medication
packaging. You can go right down the list to see what NexPak
directly solves: nursing staffing challenges; financial impacts;
quality of care gaps; risk to the facility. NexPak was designed as
a scalable solution to improve efficiency and safety in the
medication administration process.”
Capsa Healthcare will showcase NexPak at the Spring
National Commission on Correctional Health Care Conference (NCCHC)
in St. Louis, MO on April 27-30.
