The Kirby Lester brand of pharmacy automation technology is now integrated into the technology solutions portfolio from Capsa Healthcare. Capsa Healthcare provides the most comprehensive solutions worldwide to efficiently manage medication, supplies, and health information in community and institutional pharmacies, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals.
Kirby Lester produced the world’s first pharmacy tablet counter in 1971. Its robust R&D efforts over the next four decades yielded a steady stream of technologies to prevent serious prescription filling errors and save critical time and steps in busy pharmacy settings. Since the acquisition of Kirby Lester by Capsa in 2014, the organization has invested in both refinement and evolution of the Kirby Lester line of automation. Today, Kirby Lester is one of the flagship product lines for Capsa Healthcare’s pharmacy automation solution category.
“The Kirby Lester brand of pharmacy automation solutions is one of the most identified and respected in retail and hospital pharmacies across the globe. Its track record of innovation and performance elevates Capsa Healthcare’s portfolio of pharmacy automation products like few brands could in today’s challenging healthcare environment,” says Andrew Sherrill, Chief Executive Officer. “Our role is to develop technologies that help pharmacy professionals perform efficiently and accurately. By investing in technology that truly makes a difference in delivering great care, we are defining Capsa Healthcare as the preferred choice for pharmacies to partner with across our automation and medication management solutions.”
Pharmacy Automation is one of four Capsa Healthcare solutions categories. Others include Point-of Care (mobile computing carts, wall arm and cabinet solutions, medication computing workstations), Medication Management (medication carts, automated dispensing cabinets, medication cabinets), and Procedural/Supply (medical carts).
