Omnicell builds pharmacy automation, smart dispensing devices, intelligent software and services for medication management across healthcare settings worldwide.
Omnicell is a healthcare technology company that develops automation, software and services for medication management. Founded in 1992, the company works with healthcare facilities worldwide and has more than 30 years of operation behind it. Its stated aim, described as the "Autonomous Pharmacy", is to combine automation, intelligence and expert services to improve clinical and business outcomes in how medications are managed across care settings.
The company's technical work spans several fields: pharmacy automation and robotics; smart devices and IoT-enabled medication dispensing; intelligent software and data analytics; and inventory and supply chain optimisation. Products are organised into four lines. Robotics handle dangerous or repetitive medication management tasks. Smart devices are designed to close gaps in safety and inventory visibility. Intelligent software provides data insights intended to optimise the pharmacy supply chain, and expert services support the deployment and use of that technology.
Omnicell operates across the healthcare sector, covering hospital and inpatient care - central pharmacy, IV room and points of care - as well as outpatient specialty pharmacy, retail pharmacy and medication adherence. Its work is oriented toward patient safety, the reduction of human error and the freeing of clinical staff to spend more time with patients rather than managing medications. Reported outcomes include $425K in customer savings at Baptist Health Alabama through intelligent inventory solutions.
