    MTS Medication TechnologiesOmnicell Automated Medication and Supply System

    Long-term care providers can greatly benefit from

    Omnicell automated medication and supply

    management systems for secure access to first

    dose, emergency medication and new medication

    orders. These systems not only aid in regulatory

    compliance, but also increase the quality of care

    for residents. Omnicell automated medication and

    supply cabinet systems enable timely access to

    needed medications at the point of care. Instead of

    managing multiple e-kits, authorized caregivers

    can access most medications from the Omnicell

    automated medication cabinet, which easily stores

    200 to 300 different items or more depending

    on the configuration. Implementing Omnicell

    automated medication cabinets helps a pharmacy

    grow and retain business, decrease operational

    costs by eliminating e-kits and stat deliveries,

    automatically capture charges with an automated

    billing interface, and improve the chain of custody

    of medications for regulatory compliance.
