Automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs) have been available for a couple of decades, but Capsa Healthcare’s NexsysADC is different; it was designed for long-term care. Practical in size, price range, and scope. NexsysADC is accessible for even small-volume homes (or behavioural health and hospice, too) — not just large hospitals.
Compact cabinet that controls the onsite storage and distribution of medications (especially narcotics) and high-value supplies. At all times, pharmacies stocking medications and nursing managers controlling the removal of medications know what doses are inside each NexsysADC cabinet, which nurse is accessing them, and what medication dose is getting to which patient. Each transaction is visible and trackable via a cloud connection.
All care facilities – large and small resident populations – need advanced protection against medication dispensing errors and internal diversion. Capsa Healthcare designed NexsysADC to directly address how pharmacies and their facilities can defend against the wrong patient getting the wrong medication, strength or quantity and against theft. With old-fashioned manual processes like the locked closet or the “tackle box”, both happen all too frequently in senior care.
Capsa Healthcare has been installing NexsysADC at a rapid pace across Canada. During the pandemic, the company perfected its virtual training programs to streamline onboarding.
Nurses appreciate the fast access to the medication their patient needs right away. Nursing directors appreciate the “Track & Trace” features of NexsysADC so they know exactly who has the right to use the cabinet, who accessed it and when, for what patient, if inventory levels are low, and any discrepancies. Pharmacies appreciate that their medication stock — especially controlled medications — is carefully locked up with limited access, and they know at all times inventory levels to prevent rush deliveries and anticipate Stat order medications to be on hand.
