Addressing Labor Shortages In Pharmacies
Nationally, as so many pharmacies deal with a labor shortage, technology is often the most logical solution. But only if that technology can:
- Handle a high portion of the daily prescriptions
- Save time directly in the prescription-filling process
- Save time indirectly by preventing filling errors from getting to pharmacist check
- Free up staff to focus on profitability and patient-centric activities
- Drive down Rx filling costs, one of the least profitable but essential components of a community pharmacy’s services
Kirby Lester systems have been installed at record pace over the past two years, and these systems quickly pay for themselves in labor and time savings. Talk to your Capsa Healthcare account manager about the many ways a Kirby Lester system accomplishes all of these goals – without adding more employees.

Trending: Avoid Filling Errors That Drain Time during Pharmacist Check
In 2024, community pharmacies are focused on protecting their cash flow and driving down costs for Rx filling. That’s where the KL1Plus is indispensable. This simple-to-use device helps every technician on the team to fill orders in a predictable, repeatable order. From your brand-new hire to your seasoned veteran, they will appreciate how the KL1Plus alerts for any accidental error like wrong NDC, strength, or quantity for the wrong patient. They will use the KL1Plus to fill the 80% of orders that require scan-verification and fast counting of tablets and capsule; they also will use the KL1Plus for scan-verifying and counting package quantities for the other 20% – unit of use items. And since the potential error is halted at Rx filling, it doesn’t sap time during pharmacist check, where errors cost real money in time drain for the PharmD.
