Controlled Substance Management System 

Narcotic dispensing reconciliation with true closed-loop tracking

The CSM system uses the same database as Omnicell® dispensing cabinets, which provides true closed-loop tracking for dispensing controlled substances. CSM facilitates dispensing reconciliation and ensures a complete audit trail throughout the medication distribution process.

Omnicell’s CSM system was designed based on customer insight, analysis of existing and anticipated regulatory requirements, and emerging patient care standards. This ensures your facility has an effective means for complying with regulations for dispensing controlled substances.
