OmniDispenser Module
Product Overview
One of the greatest drains on a nurse's time is the tedious narcotic counts at the automated dispensing cabinet – and the inevitable recounts needed to resolve discrepancies. Not only does this task keep a nurse away from patient rooms, but it also contributes to congestion at the cabinet, which puts other nurses behind.
The OmniDispenser™ unit dose dispensing system provides a unique, highly efficient solution for controlled substances that virtually eliminates the need for nurses to conduct count-backs.
True Unit Dose Dispensing System
The OmniDispenser module stores medications in a separate, secured location in the automated dispensing cabinet and dispenses each dose individually, similar to a vending machine. Nurses only have access to the specific quantity of items requested.
- Manual count-backs to confirm remaining inventories of controlled substances are all but eliminated, saving hours of nursing time each day.
- By electronically tracking each dose, the system also spares nurses from additional manual documentation.
Benefits
