Omnicell, one of the leading provider of system solutions to acute healthcare facilities, has released the new Omnicell packager with WorkflowRx software.
The next generation of packaging technology supports bar code medication administration (BCMA) and increases unit dose packaging efficiency and dispensing accuracy. Integrated with the latest WorkflowRx software, version 7.0, this high-speed packager prints highly legible unit-dose labels improving barcode scan recognition and patient medication dispensing times.
WorkflowRx streamlines pharmacy operations by integrating product labeling as part of the receiving, stocking, picking and returning activities. Hospital pharmacies can re-label medications as needed or use the packager to label larger quantities of medications. Compliant with GS1 and HIBC Standards, WorkflowRx 2D barcode support auto-populates vital information that is embedded in barcodes.
Peterson Regional Medical Center, Kerrville, Texas, pharmacy clinician and information technology coordinator Larry Nelson said that the clarity of the new Omnicell packager’s bar code printer has significantly improved scanning recognition time, shortening medication dispensing time at the bedside.
“We were using WorkflowRx software with our previous packager and since the new packager utilizes updated WorkflowRx software, the installation and implementation were very straightforward. Additionally, the adjustable package size capability helps with cabinet replenishment, allowing us to maximize our cabinet drawer space,” Nelson added.
