Controlled Substances
Omnicell’s new Controlled Substance Management (CSM) system improves the management of narcotics and other controlled substances.
This is achieved by providing perpetual inventory management and an automated audit trail to help the pharmacy comply with regulatory standards while increasing efficiency.
Omnicell’s CSM system was designed based on customer insight, analysis of existing and anticipated regulatory requirements, and emerging patient care standards. This ensures your facility has an effective means for complying with regulations for dispensing controlled substances.
If ensuring your pharmacy has the best possible processes and practices for managing controlled substances, we’d welcome a conversation around our CSM solution.
