MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Dec. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMCL), a leading provider of
medication and supply management solutions to health care systems,
today announced the release of the new Omnicell Analytics solution
to help simplify diversion management across health systems.
Omnicell Analytics and central pharmacy inventory management
innovations will be highlighted at this year's American Society of
Health-System Pharmacists 2015 Midyear Meeting to be held in
New Orleans from December 7-10. The Company's breadth of new and
expanded solutions for medication management are all fully
integrated on the Unity enterprise platform to support Omnicell's
commitment to simplify medication management across the care
continuum. Several products have recently been enhanced with the
release of Omnicell's 20.0 software in November.
In Omnicell's booth #813, highlights include:
- Omnicell Analytics: A new web-based diversion analytics
tool that streamlines the process of managing potential drug
diversion across the health system. Omnicell Analytics simplifies
diversion management, helping to improve patient care and
safety.
- Central Pharmacy Manager: This perpetual enterprise-wide
inventory management software now works with Omnicell medication
carousels to help reduce complexity, eliminate redundant work and
prevent medication errors.
- Microsoft Active Directory: Direct connection to Active
Directory1 allows users to access Omnicell systems with
their hospital domain user ID and password, simplifying user
management across the enterprise.
- FlexLock 2.0 refrigerator lock and temperature
monitor: The newly designed FlexLock simplifies
regulatory compliance by meeting all Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) guidelines on storing refrigerated vaccines, including
accurate calibration within ±0.5°C.
- SureMed™ by Omnicell medication adherence blister cards go
mobile: Working with SureMed by Omnicell blister cards,
Medisafe, a leading cloud-synced mHealth platform, has created a
solution that helps patients remember to take their medications and
keeps a digital record for themselves, their caregivers,
pharmacists and doctors. The unified mobile experience revolves
around the SureMed blister card, conveniently filled by the
patient's pharmacist.
According to recent research, one in 10 health care providers
will abuse drugs at some point.2 Omnicell Analytics
technology was developed to flag potential diverters in the health
system in order to mitigate risk to patients. Omnicell Analytics is
available to Omnicell customers using the updated Unity platform
(20.0 software), and it is designed to integrate directly into the
same network as the hospital's existing Omnicell medication
management solutions.
Building on existing features, the latest Central Pharmacy
Manager now works with Omnicell medication carousels, enabling a
streamlined hub and spoke distribution model for health systems.
With this technology, hospitals and health systems can customize
their inventory world and simplify pharmacist workflow with
enhanced safety checkpoints, true multi-client set-up and a
prioritized picking queue that highlights the most pressing
medication orders. Omnicell's carousel, automated dispensing
cabinets, anesthesia workstation, controlled substance management
system and new analytics offering all share the same database,
which streamlines system administration tasks.
Omnicell's SinglePointe™ patient medication management software,
which provides a more effective way to manage patient-specific
medications, is also enhanced with the 20.0 release. A new
interface standardizes the restock process for all items, including
compounded IVs and other pharmacy-prepared medications, simplifying
pharmacy work and improving accuracy.
"As hospital leaders look for ways to reduce costly readmissions
and ensure not only healthy patient outcomes, but simplified
provider workflows, we seek to offer solutions that assist in care
coordination across the continuum of care from hospital to home,"
said Joe Lynch, vice president,
global markets at Omnicell. "Following our recent recognition by
KLAS as the number one Overall Pharmacy Automation Equipment
vendor,3 we're proud to continue supporting our
customers with leading medication management solutions that target
key issues for health care providers and their patients."
During a cocktail reception, ASHP attendees can also see a

solution is integrated with SureMed by Omnicell blister cards for
an improved adherence patient experience. Space is limited and
attendees should RSVP here.
