Houston-based Texas Children's Hospital is expanding its partnership with Omnicell to improve its pharmacy operations and medication management.
The health system will adopt Omnicell Performance Center, which combines enterprise software with ongoing services to proactively monitor pharmacy operations and make prescription recommendations. It uses predictive intelligence and real-time inventory tracking to reduce spending, manage supplies and locate medications throughout the health system.
Additionally, Texas Children's will expand on Omnicell's Unity platform by adding diversion analytics and closed loop dose accountability, which are interoperable with the Epic EHR. Its existing automated dispensing cabinets will be replaced with the Omnicell solution, providing enhanced access, increased storage and streamlined medication management.
"As a rapidly expanding health system, we are constantly striving for excellence in care across our facilities," said Gee Mathen, assistant director of pharmacy applications and technical services at Texas Children's. "We believe that equipping our teams and providers with consistent, safe products not only improves our medication management processes but also supports safety all the way to the patient. The addition of Performance Center will proactively monitor our data to find opportunities for improving our operations."
