The system automatically tracks every dose, virtually eliminating time-consuming count-backs and discrepancies related to controlled substances.

SinglePointe™ Patient Medication Management Software

SinglePointe enables you to store, manage and track virtually 100% of medications needed for every patient within the automated dispensing cabinet – bringing benefits to patients, nurses, and pharmacy. The system accommodates:

• Non-stocked and patient-specific items, including multi-use items (e.g. eye drops, creams, inhalers)
• Patient's medications from home
• Patient-specific IV admixtures and other multi-component medication orders (MCMO)

Medication Label Printer

An Omnicell exclusive, the integrated Medication Label Printer allows nurses to print patient-specific labels during medication issue for medications that won't be administered immediately; medications removed from their original packaging; and pre-mix IV admixtures and multi-use medications, such as topicals, inhalers, and eye drops.

• Supports compliance with The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal 03.04.01 regarding labeling medications, and improves patient safety.

Anywhere RN™ Remote Medication Management

The Anywhere RN system gives nurses the freedom to remotely interact with the Omnicell cabinet from anywhere in the patient care area.

• Reduces trips to the cabinet, preventing fatigue and frustration.
