Omnicell, Inc., a leader in transforming the pharmacy care delivery model, in FORT WORTH, Texas, on Tuesday announced the introduction of Central Med Automation Service, a subscription-based solution designed to help health systems establish and continuously optimize centralized medication management for Consolidated Pharmacy Services Centers (CPSCs) and similar operations.
Central Med Automation Service was planned to seamlessly integrate enterprise-wide robotics, smart devices, and intelligent software with expert services in an effort to help health systems establish and continuously optimize their centralized pharmacy operations to support medication management at acute care, remote clinics, and community sites, Omnicell said.
Randall Lipps, chairman, president, chief executive officer, and founder of Omnicell, said in a comment, “As the health system enterprise grows, we find that traditional methods of medication management can lead to multi-vendor environments that may complicate workflows, often creating unnecessary redundancy and increasing chances for error. Pharmacy leaders recognize the potential value of centralizing pharmacy services, but often lack the capital budgets, resources, and expertise necessary to transform their infrastructure and scale it over time. Omnicell’s Central Med Automation Service is designed to help health systems develop and execute a central fill strategy while providing the expert support necessary to help ensure this environment meets current and future medication management needs.”
Nilesh Desai, RPh, CPPS, chief pharmacy officer at Baptist Health, said, “Medications are complex and managing them is even more complex, particularly at a time when we’re challenged with growing drug and pharmacy technician shortages. Centralizing pharmacy services helps us address these challenges in an effort to provide better and safer care to our patients and communities. Achieving this vision would not have been possible without business partners like Omnicell who, through Central Med Automation Service, have a stake in the game to make us successful.”
According to the report, Central Med Automation Service helps health systems move closer to the industry vision of autonomous pharmacy, which seeks to replace manual, error-prone activities with automated processes that are safer and more efficient.
Central Pharmacy Manager for Central Med Automation Service is intelligent software that is specifically designed to support centralized medication management workflows within a CPSC, including medication ordering, receiving, picking, verifying, and restocking, the company said in a comment.
