Close Gaps in Controlled Substance Management and Accountability
How effectively are you tracking controlled substances between the pharmacy and patient care units? The Omnicell XT Controlled Substance Manager (CSM) improves management of controlled substances throughout the hospital. It integrates with the Omnicell XT and AcuDose-Rx Automated Dispensing Cabinets, providing perpetual controlled substance inventory management and an automated audit trail.
- Addresses the challenges of managing controlled substance inventory, helping the pharmacy comply with regulatory standards while increasing efficiency
- Protects patient safety and reduces hospital liability by providing full accountability of drug movement from wholesalers, to the pharmacy and patient care areas, and back to the pharmacy
This solution can be used with secured cabinets, refrigerators, and shelving within secured vaults. Omnicell XT Series Automated Dispensing Cabinets offer greater capacity, so you can maximise narcotic storage in a small footprint. Its advanced fingerprint bioID system helps reduce the risk of drug diversion in the pharmacy.
"The CSM technology allows me to feel much more comfortable that every single dose has been accounted for, whether it is returned, whether it is administered, whether it is wasted."
