Med Pass - One Patient At A Time

Hi,
Per our med administration policy, medications are prepared one patient at a time. I see that this has been discussed in this forum in the past, but has anyone developed a med pass workflow to facilitate nursing units with a 1:6 ratio?

We use Pyxis and it creates a bottleneck on our 1:6 inpatient psych unit that follows unit-specific standard administration times.

Thanks and appreciate any thoughts/feedback.
