The aim of the partnership is to combine the product offerings of the two firms in order maximize customer efficiency and improve cardiology workflow.

In the field of cardiology in general and the cath lab specifically, tracking inventory and supplies for each patient for billing and purchasing purposes is critical, said Omnicell president Randall Lipps. By integrating our technologies, only one ADT interface – the interface that manages patients’ admissions data – is required in the cath lab to take full advantage of our OptiFlex CL systems and Witt’s Calytso for Cardiology technology.

According to the firms, the ADT interface is designed to accommodate the cath lab staff’s workflow preferences for inventory management and charge systems. The integration of the companies’ technologies aims to eliminate the need for customers to enter a patient charge in both companies’ systems in order to maximize revenue at the point of care.

Witt said it will also offer Omnicell’s inventory platform, OptiFlex CL, which provides a cath lab management system for tracking supplies and procedures to the physician and patient, facilitating cost management and automated charge capture and reordering.
