MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMCL) today announced
that Rochester Regional Health ("Rochester Regional"), a
five-hospital health system in western New York, has selected the Company's
medication automation solutions for its hospital floors and
operating rooms to promote the highest level of patient care.
Formed in 2014, Rochester Regional is currently installing
Omnicell® automated medication dispensing systems
in two of its five hospitals that collectively serve over 1,300
beds, with plans to implement the automation into all five
facilities by 2018.
As Rochester Regional continued to consolidate its members into
one cohesive health system, decision makers sought to simplify
workflows for pharmacists and nurses and to help support
standardization of processes that will benefit patients across the
health system.
After conducting a thorough evaluation that involved
stakeholders from each of the five facilities, as well as
representatives from pharmacy, nursing and the C-suite, Rochester
Regional found that Omnicell solutions would best support its
long-term goals as it further integrates and streamlines operations
in the coming years.
"Patient care and patient safety are paramount at all
Rochester Regional Health facilities," said Emily O'Banion, Rochester Regional Health Senior
Vice President, Integrated Health Care Delivery. "The Omnicell
solution allows us to achieve our goals of standardization of
medication processes and is closely aligned with our electronic
medical record system."
"We are excited to join Rochester Regional as they continue to
develop their unified position as a leading health system in the
western New York region," said
J. Christopher Drew, President,
North American Automation and Analytics for Omnicell. "By
partnering early in the health system's history, we embrace the
opportunity to support both operational and clinical excellence as
they continue to offer leading patient care across their
hospitals."
