Omnicell Analytics and Interoperability with Leading EHR Vendors Highlighted at HIMSS 2016

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMCL), a leading provider of medication and supply management solutions to health care systems, is pleased to participate in HIMSS 2016. Omnicell will showcase its latest enterprise analytics software, Unity single server platform, interoperability solutions and medication adherence tools in its booth and the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase, complemented by customer presentations during the conference. Omnicell will also be featuring Enterprise Medication Manager™ software from its recently acquired company, Aesynt.

Through its enhanced analytics offerings targeting drug diversion and smarter inventory decisions for health systems, as well as medication adherence solutions, Omnicell is committed to supporting the clinical and financial success of partners across the full care continuum.

As hospitals look for ways to optimize the return on information from their existing health information technology solutions, analytics platforms are becoming increasingly popular, with the market expected to reach more than $34 billion by the end of 2022.¹ Beyond the pharmacy, informaticists are developing a greater stake in improving operations in all hospital departments. To support this growing industry demand for data-driven insights, Omnicell is developing solutions that help enable smarter logistics and inventory management in the central pharmacy and across the health system, leading to greater financial and clinical success.

In Omnicell's Booth #5126, demonstrations include:

• Interoperability with leading EHR systems: Omnicell will demonstrate seamless interoperability with other vendors in the medication dispensing process, including exchange and use of data directly through the Epic Medication Administration Record (MAR) application.
• Enterprise Medication Manager™, a pharmacy supply chain solution to help gain real-time visibility and insight to optimize medication inventory across the enterprise.
• Omnicell Analytics for detecting drug diversion: A new web-based diversion analytics tool that streamlines the process of managing potential drug diversion across the health system. Omnicell Analytics simplifies diversion management, helping to improve patient care and safety.
• SureMed™ adherence solutions with Medisafe: Omnicell's SureMed blister cards, which help patients organize and remember to take their medications, are now offered with a digital version of the cards on Medisafe, a leading mhealth platform for medication management that uses a combination of reminders, educational content, motivational tips, supports systems and other tools to help patients stay adherent.

Omnicell's integration with the Epic EHR can also be seen in the Interoperability Showcase (11954-3) in the ICU Isolation Vignette on Level 1, Hall G.
