Barcode scanning and the color touch display provide double verification that the intended item was removed.

Allergy alerts prevent medication errors.

Through an optional Web connection, access to drug information and clinical tools aids in decision making and improves accuracy in medication delivery.

SafetyStock scanner may be used to ensure accurate restocks so the right medications are properly stocked in each drawer.

Medication Security (Click to Expand)

aws medication security

Pharmacy and Anesthesia Departments face increasing regulatory pressure to ensure patient safety and medication security. Omnicell Anesthesia solutions ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by securing medications

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations Medication Management Standard 2.20 requires that "medications are properly and safely stored throughout the hospital."

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Condition of Participation for Pharmaceutical Services, Section 482.25 (b) (2) states, "Drugs and biologicals must be kept in a locked storage area...in a manner to prevent access by non-authorized individuals."

Access is limited to designated individuals. Biometric fingerprint scanners and ID card readers offer fast and secure access to the anesthesia workstation.

Single dose dispensing options limit users' access to only required quantities of medications.
