HD Risk Management Program

Once hazardous drugs leave the pharmacy, the number of staff exposed increases, and the types of exposures may be difficult to control. To help reduce HD exposure, WorkingBuildings can conduct a gap analysis and tailor a program to protect staff. Working with leadership and frontline staff, experts develop SOPs and create plans for wipe testing, cleaning patient care areas, disposing of body fluid and contaminated supplies, and staff education.

Medication Management

Omnicell’s Autonomous Pharmacy vision integrates a comprehensive set of solutions across three key areas: automation designed to digitize and streamline workflows; intelligence that provides actionable insights to better understand medication usage and improve pharmacy supply chain management; and expert services that serve as an extension of pharmacy operations to support improved efficiency, regulatory compliance, and patient outcomes.

Through its vision of the autonomous pharmacy, Omnicell is developing a roadmap for a zero-error, fully automated medication management infrastructure where every dose of medication is viewed as a node on the network that carries valuable data about patients, inventory, and cost. During the ASHP Midyear meeting, Omnicell will showcase how it is helping to enhance patient safety, increase efficiency, lower costs, improve regulatory compliance, and address population health challenges.
