MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Sept. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMCL), today announced that Prime
Healthcare, a 45-hospital network serving 14 states, is
implementing the Company's new XT Series automated medication
dispensing systems in seven hospitals, expanding Omnicell's
presence to over half of the facilities within its health system.
Prime Healthcare is also adding anesthesia and supply offerings to
the suite of Omnicell® solutions used in select sites.
Implementing these state-of-the-art solutions can enable Prime
Healthcare to increase medication and supply storage capacity and
improve provider workflows.
In today's evolving healthcare industry, health systems are
realizing the benefits of applying the latest technology to
streamline inventory management and optimize providers' ability to
deliver excellent care. Within Prime Healthcare's network, adding
the Omnicell XT Series Automated Dispensing Cabinets and Anesthesia
Workstation™ will help promote safe, secure, and efficient
processes and allow the facilities to manage more medications on
the patient floors through increased capacity in the same physical
footprint.
"As our health system continues to grow and evolve to meet new
challenges, we rely on technologically advanced solutions to help
us optimize our existing resources and operations, so we can spend
more time focusing on our patients," said Ravi Reddy Alla, vice president of Professional
Services, Prime Healthcare. "We were impressed by the design and
increased capacity of Omnicell's new XT series, and look forward to
furthering our relationship with their organization."
Select hospitals in the health system are introducing the XT
Anesthesia Workstation™ to help improve medication
security and safety in anesthesia procedure areas. This automated
system gives anesthesia providers instant access to medications
while keeping controlled substances secure and tracking inventory
used. Additionally, following the recent launch of the XT Automated
Supply Dispensing Cabinets, several facilities within the health
system will implement this flexible supply chain solution. The new
supply cabinets create greater efficiency for nursing staff through
more responsive touchscreens, new storage components for organizing
medical supplies and increased capacity, which helps prevent
stockouts.
"Over the past five years of working across Prime Healthcare's
network, we've continued to be impressed by their dedication to
deliver excellent care to their communities," said J. Christopher Drew, president of North American
Automation and Analytics, Omnicell. "Through our XT Series, we look
forward to helping both existing and new partners within the health
system to optimize medication and supply chain distribution
processes to streamline workflows for caregivers and their
patients."
