Baptist Health Engages Omnicell in an Effort to Enhance Pharmacy Care and Further Gain Control of Medication Supply Chain

Omnicell, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMCL), a leader in transforming the pharmacy care delivery model, today announced that Kentucky-based Baptist Health has selected Omnicell’s Central Pharmacy Dispensing Service in an effort to address labor challenges and improve clinical and financial outcomes.

Labor shortages, disconnected care settings, and manual processes continue to impact patient care for many healthcare providers and prevent clinicians from operating at the top of their license.

Baptist Health is one of the latest health systems to adopt Omnicell’s Central Pharmacy Dispensing Service, which is expected to help enhance safety and dispensing accuracy while streamlining workflows through a combination of advanced robotics, dispensing optimization tools, and remote and onsite experts. This comprehensive solution is designed to automate and optimize pharmacy labor and workflows, leading to pharmacists spending on average 75 percent less time on dispensing tasks.¹

“We selected Omnicell’s robotics and services for our Central Pharmacy Services Center in an effort to help alleviate staffing challenges while focusing on improving quality, patient safety, and efficiency,” said Nilesh Desai, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Baptist Health. “We’re excited about the opportunity to advance further toward our vision of a fully integrated and highly automated pharmacy solution.”

We believe automating central pharmacy tasks is critical to achieving the Autonomous Pharmacy, an industry-defined vision to replace manual, error-prone activities with automated processes that are intended to be safer and more efficient.

“Baptist Health has been a leader in embracing the industry vision of a fully autonomous pharmacy,” said Alex Pratt, senior vice president and chief growth officer for Omnicell. “The addition of these Advanced Services should help them move closer to that vision while also helping to enable them to achieve their goals of optimized clinical and financial outcomes.”
