In conducting their work, anesthesia providers utilize both medications and supplies, and increasingly, they face regulatory, organizational and economic pressures to ensure medication safety, accomplish charge capture, and help facilitate inventory control.

Regarding the issue of medication safety, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations Medication Management Standard 2.20 requires that "medications are properly and safely stored throughout the hospital." Similarly, 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."

Omnicell provides innovative systems to satisfy the unique needs of the anesthesia provider in the operating room. The systems help facilities meet regulatory requirements pertaining to medication management, while providing clinicians with the convenience and time to focus on patient care. Omnicell's Anesthesia Workstation is a mobile system for the management of anesthesia supplies and medications that is tailored for the workflow of the clinician at the point of care. The Anesthesia TT™ is a unique, fixed-position tabletop unit designed as a medication-only system.

According to a study by Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano conducted in 2005, use of Omnicell's Anesthesia Workstation resulted in charge capture rates significantly higher than that experienced with Pyxis' Anesthesia System.
