Next-generation, cloud native, software workflow engine and data platform intended to seamlessly integrate enterprise robotics and smart devices across the continuum of care
Omnicell, Inc., a leader in transforming the pharmacy and nursing care delivery model, announced OmniSphere, a next-generation, cloud native, software workflow engine and data platform. This groundbreaking new platform, designed to leverage the full power of a cloud native architecture, seamlessly integrates robotics and smart devices to support more secure, data-driven, medication management across the continuum of care.
“As health systems continue to evolve and expand, this can often lead to disconnected systems across care settings, which may create serious challenges for safe and effective medication management,” said Randall Lipps, chairman, president, chief executive officer, and founder of Omnicell. “With OmniSphere, our team started from the ground up to develop a new cloud native platform for pharmacy and nursing that is designed to be the connected backbone for all Omnicell products.”
OmniSphere is intended to create a streamlined interoperable experience by connecting enterprise-wide robotics and smart devices, software workflows, and robust analytics that is meant to deliver optimal end-to-end medication inventory management. OmniSphere is designed to provide customers:
- State-of-the-art security through a scalable infrastructure and platform with certified cyber and data security
- Improved productivity with one point of access for all cloud-connected Omnicell automation
- Enterprise-wide visibility to medication inventory and utilization lays the groundwork to leverage AI to provide actionable enterprise insights and optimization opportunities
- Streamlined upgrades that are intended to rapidly scale, optimize operations, and adapt to evolving demands
Earlier this year, Omnicell announced XT Amplify, a multi-year program intended to maximize the value of XT technology investments. The solutions within the XT Amplify program are OmniSphere ready — including MedChill and XTExtend. With MedChill and XTExtend, customers are expected to realize enhanced outcomes while enabling XT to connect to the new OmniSphere platform.
