Why Consolidate?

Gain Enterprise Control Potential By Centralizing Medication Distribution

Omnicell’s Central Med Automation Service combines robotic automation, software and Consolidated Service Center (CSC) expertise in an effort to help health systems quickly establish and optimize a flexible and scalable CSC infrastructure.

Pharmacy teams at large health systems typically manage medication preparation, inventory, and distribution across many locations, often with fragmented processes and limited visibility. As networks grow, that complexity can create duplicated effort, inconsistent workflows, excess inventory, and avoidable labor strain.

Establishing a CSC is intended to help reduce the number of components in the complex health system medication supply chain and provide pharmacy leaders with better pricing leverage and distribution control. Omnicell’s Central Med Automation Service is a turnkey Consolidated Service Center solution engineered to allow health systems to standardize pharmacy processes throughout the enterprise and streamline distribution efficiency by minimizing manual dispensing tasks.
