MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Omnicell, Inc., (NASDAQ:OMCL), has earned top honors in
three categories in the 2016 Best in KLAS: Medical Equipment
report, including the prestigious 2016 Best in KLAS Automated
Dispensing Cabinet designation for its OmniRx® medication
dispensing system. This award marks the 11th
consecutive year that Omnicell has been recognized as the top
vendor for Automated Medication Dispensing Cabinets by KLAS, an
independent healthcare research firm, which uses ratings from
thousands of healthcare providers to determine the top-performing
technology vendors.
In addition to the 2016 Best in KLAS achievement, Omnicell was
showcased in the Notable Performance Section of the Report as the
highest scoring pharmacy automation vendor in the Pharmacy
Automation Equipment Rankings. The following Omnicell solutions
also received top honors for Pharmacy Automation Equipment:
- WorkflowRx™ Carousel received the Category Leader distinction
for the seventh year running for Pharmacy Automation: Medication
Carousels. WorkflowRx Carousel increases productivity and
reduces costs in the central pharmacy by providing greater control
and tracking of medications, improved dispensing accuracy, and
dynamic reordering of all pharmacy stock.
- ROBOT-Rx® was named Category Leader for Pharmacy Automation:
Robots (Oral Solid). ROBOT-Rx is a robotic medication
dispensing solution that increases efficiency and accuracy in the
central pharmacy. Managing 90% or more of a hospital's daily
medication volume, ROBOT-Rx helps to prevent medication errors,
reduces pharmacy labor, and lowers medication inventory. This
product was part of the recent acquisition of Aesynt and broadens
Omnicell's pharmacy offerings. Omnicell's (Aesynt's) robotic
solutions have been awarded Category Leader for 4 straight
years.
Earlier in 2016 Omnicell was evaluated in another KLAS
performance report, Pharmacy 2016: Are You Partnered to Reduce
Costs? This report looked at the initiatives that hospital C-levels
and pharmacy directors are implementing and vendors they are
partnering with to position themselves for value-based care. Of
those surveyed, 96% responded they would buy Omnicell automated
dispensing cabinets again, 99% of respondents said Omnicell keeps
all promises and 94% stated that Omnicell cabinets have needed
functionality.
"We believe the latest Best in KLAS report once again
demonstrates that Omnicell is the vendor of choice for
hospitals and health systems," said Randall A. Lipps, founder, chairman, president
and CEO of Omnicell. "Knowing that users of our products have
expressed such confidence in Omnicell continuously inspires us to
do even better for them by providing a superior customer
experience."
"As healthcare continues to evolve, it is imperative that we
seek innovation and constantly address the needs of a shifting
market. The Best in KLAS and Category Leader winners are the ones
making the greatest strides within their market segments," said
Adam Gale, CEO and president of
KLAS. "We also commend all the vendors who strive to improve their
products and services in order to provide the best possible
healthcare."
