Omnicell is committed to transforming the pharmacy care delivery model through the Autonomous Pharmacy, a combination of hardware, software, and services that enables providers to improve quality, reduce costs, and increase human efficiencies.
“With increasing cost and complexity of managing medications, we need better visibility and understanding of our pharmacy supply chain and the impact on total cost of care,” said Tony Jackson, Assistant Vice President of Pharmacy at Scripps Health. “These new technologies and services will allow us to enhance and optimize our operations to achieve better clinical and financial efficiencies.”
Scripps Health will leverage Omnicell Professional Services to support project implementation. These change management professionals will help drive solution adoption through ensuring organizational readiness and expedite the time to value for the Scripps Health initiative.
“As healthcare moves closer to the fully autonomous pharmacy, ensuring successful adoption of technology is critical,” said Scott Seidelmann, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Omnicell. “Through strategic partnerships with customers like Scripps Health, we are helping health systems to accelerate time-to-value for implementation and more quickly realize the full potential of their Omnicell solutions.”
Scripps Health joins nearly 50 percent of Top 300 U.S. health systems2 who have chosen to partner with Omnicell on the journey to the Autonomous Pharmacy, a roadmap to develop a zero-error, fully automated medication management infrastructure. Through Omnicell’s industry-leading medication management platform and portfolio of technology-enabled services, health systems and retail pharmacies are realizing how connected technology and intelligence can help solve for the most pressing challenges in medication management.
