COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capsa Healthcare, a leader in advanced healthcare workflow solutions, announced today that Houston, TX-based Harris Health has chosen Capsa as its design and installation partner for a new automated central fill prescription processing solution. The partnership will significantly advance Harris Health's medication delivery capabilities for the health system's nearly 10,000 employees and more than 250,000 patients.
Harris Health, a premier healthcare provider in Harris County, TX (3rd most populous county in the United States), recognized numerous challenges with its legacy automated processes. These included strain from rapidly rising prescription volumes, outdated dispensing and picking robotics, an inefficient, cramped facility, and an overreliance on manual processes.
These challenges represent significant obstacles to growth. Harris Health plans for significant future expansion in its core central fill pharmacy. These planned developments require a solution that accommodates an increase in volume from 5,000 scripts per day to 15,000 using the system's new 60,000 square foot facility. Harris Health sought a fresh perspective from a partner known for cutting-edge, high-volume fulfillment solutions with world-class service to address their unique needs.
Capsa Healthcare is uniquely positioned to address the challenges faced by Harris Health through its customer-focused, and customized design approach, emphasizing flexibility, expandability, and innovation. Capsa's central fill solution will allow Harris Health to exceed its current prescription volume, featuring built-in expansion capabilities, optimized labor requirements, reduced operating expenses, and unmatched accuracy and efficiency.
