Download case study

Facility:

248-bed community hospital (South-Central Pennsylvania)

Challenge:

After implementing policy and procedure changes to reduce medication errors, the hospital seeks even greater improvement through technology to manage its centralized cartfill system.

Omnicell Solution:

Omnicell’s WorkflowRx™ system automates central pharmacy tasks to streamline inventory management.

Result:

Reduced cartfill time from 16 staff hours to 90 minutes; improved staff efficiency and satisfaction; reduced medication errors, achieving patient safety goals; reduced annual pharmacy budget.

Central pharmacy automates inventory management through the WorkflowRx™ system to boost productivity, reduce inventory costs, and enhance patient safety.

“If you look at how we worked before installation of the Omnicell WorkflowRx system, and how our system works today, the results are dramatic.”
