Lost, misplaced, and delayed medication orders result in significant rework, unnecessary phone calls, and frustration. The end result is often delayed patient therapy. Our OmniLinkRx Order Management System offers an ideal solution. It simplifies the communication of orders from remote nursing stations to the pharmacy, allowing you to manage and prioritize the vast number of physician orders written every day.
OmniLinkRx software incorporates the latest technology, advanced viewing features, and a host of other features to help you improve patient safety while increasing the productivity of nursing and pharmacy staff. Our customers who have implemented OmniLinkRx in their operations have made significant gains in these areas:
- St. Vincent Healthcare achieved at least a 57% reduction in order entry time after implementing OmniLinkRx.1
- Baylor University Medical Center significantly reduced the time spent processing and verifying medication orders, and achieved a 35% lower error rate.2
How Does OmniLinkRx Work?
OmniLinkRx easily coexists with your pharmacy information system and computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems. It runs on a standard server provided by Omnicell, and users access the system via workstations using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer.
Nurses simply place the physician order into the sending device such as a scanner, and the scanned document image is sent to the OmniLinkRx server where it is immediately viewable by pharmacy staff for order entry. Pharmacists can access orders remotely, enabling coverage of non-24-hour pharmacies.
With OmniLinkRx, you will virtually eliminate manual administrative tasks associated with physician order processing, dramatically decrease your paperwork burden, and slash the time spent on the telephone.
