Debuted at the 2007 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting, the SinglePointesolution was made generally available in June with the release of Omnicell12.0. In a departure from traditional medication dispensing systems, theSinglePointe solution provides an auto-assign process that matchespatient-specific locations with patients and their medications that are notroutinely stocked in the dispensing system. This proprietary featuresignificantly reduces the labor intensive process of loading and unloadingmedications in the dispensing system as well as the management of multi-useand "home" medications. Whether the patient is transferred or discharged, theSinglePointe solution's user intuitive workflow results in improved controland accountability of these patient-specific medications.
"Our customers continually inspire us to improve the way hospital pharmacyand nursing staff store, manage, and track medications," said Randall A.Lipps, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Omnicell. "TheSinglePointe solution is revolutionary in its ability to address thetime-consuming, inconsistent and labor intensive medication managementprocedures that both pharmacy and nursing staff must grapple with every day."
