Automated medication dispensing systems are a staple piece of technology in just about every health system, helping to increase efficiency and improve safety for medication dispensing at the points of care.
These systems are the backbone of a technology-driven pharmacy care strategy, but many healthcare facilities aren’t realizing the maximum value from this investment.
As healthcare continues to emerge from the operational and economic impacts of the pandemic, solutions designed to address evolving and complex needs today and into the future are more important than ever. Pharmacy and nursing leaders understand the value a technology-driven medication management strategy brings to patient care, but installing a new infrastructure and the change management that comes with it can be challenging.
Enter XT Amplify, a multi-year program designed to maximize the value of existing technology investments, while providing a path to implementing new high-value, innovative hardware, software, and services to amplify Omnicell’s XT Automated Dispensing System portfolio.
For example, as equipment ages and operating systems near end of support, ensuring a secure experience is paramount. XTExtend, one of the five initial offerings of the XT Amplify program, provides a high level of security while enhancing the user experience through a cabinet console swap. A backwards compatible design strengthens interoperability within the healthcare facility while ensuring infrastructure readiness for the future.
Many health systems struggle with achieving basic inventory management for temperature-controlled medications. MedChill is a secure device for compatible refrigeration that improves the safety and security of individual, refrigerated medications. Item-level inventory visibility helps to maximize expiration dates to reduce waste and stockouts at the points of care and within pharmacies.
Manual tracking of supplies can lead to excessive work and inventory inaccuracies, driving up costs. SupplyXpert is an inventory management software designed to manage medical supplies housed within the XT Supply cabinet and open-shelf locations. This comprehensive offering provides insights into stockout events, stock value, key performance indicators, and optimization recommendations, extending the benefits of existing equipment while helping customers manage the increasing costs of medical supplies.
As data breaches and cybersecurity threats continue to plague healthcare, peak infrastructure performance and cybersecurity protection is imperative. Yet the surprise costs of server infrastructure remain a barrier for customers to upgrade and expand. ServerScale is a subscription-based virtual server solution that allows customers to stay current with the latest operating systems to ensure infrastructure readiness today, while providing a foundation for the evolving and expanding health system.
Bandwidth and turnover make it difficult for customers to get the most from automation.CarePlus is a subscription-based offering that combines technology-driven automation, connected intelligence, and expert services to optimize adoption, utilization, and the overall performance of your automated dispensing system technology.
