    FAQs

    Prescription mix, staffing levels, shift structure, space constraints, and volume consistency.

    The default model assumes defined automation rates (90% of oral solid & 80% of unit-of-use dispensing) but can be adjusted. Contact a Capsa expert for scenarios involving partial or phased implementation.

    Based on average time-per-script benchmarks for oral solids and unit-of-use items.

    This calculator uses conservative per-script square footage efficiency. Actual requirements depend on storage density, workflow, and automation configuration.

    A volume analysis and workflow assessment is required. Start with this calculator and then contact Capsa for a feasibility consultation.

    The outputs generated are based on industry averages and aggregate data related to staffing ratios, throughput rates, automation performance, and square footage requirements. As such, this model does not account for the specific prescription mix, workflow design, facility constraints, or operational conditions of any individual pharmacy.

    For a comprehensive ROI analysis tailored to your organization’s unique requirements, please consult directly with a Capsa Central Fill expert. A full operational and prescription volume assessment is required before any formal recommendations or financial estimates can be provided.

    **Model Assumptions

    • Capsa is assumed to automate 80% of unit-of-use medications, with only 20% requiring manual picking.
    • Competitor systems are assumed to automate 0% of unit-of-use, requiring 100% of those prescriptions to be manually picked.
      • Additionally, it is assumed that 90% of oral solids are dispensed through automated high- and medium-volume cells, with the remaining 10% manually filled by pharmacy technicians. 

    These assumptions are hardcoded for clarity and simplicity in the ROI formulas.
