Debuted with the latest release of Omnicell 12.0 automated dispensing software, the SinglePointe solution provides an auto-assign process that matches patient-specific locations with patients and their medications that are not routinely stocked in the dispensing system.
The proprietary feature significantly reduces the labor intensive process of loading and unloading medications in the dispensing system as well as the management of multi-use and ‘home’ medications. Whether the patient is transferred or discharged, the SinglePointe solution’s user intuitive workflow results in improved control and accountability of these patient-specific medications.
The company stated that the release of Omnicell 12.0 also incorporates over 25 additional new features inspired by Omnicell customers. These include a patient safety feature that allows medications to be prohibited from being stocked in specific medication dispensing systems. With this feature a hospital could restrict adult-dose medications from being stocked in a dispensing system that supports pediatric patients.
Randall Lipps, chairman, president and CEO of Omnicell, said: Our SinglePointe solution addresses the time-consuming, inconsistent and labor intensive medication management procedures that remain in hospitals today by providing nurses and pharmacists with a single point of access for all patient medications that is simpler and safer.
