Omnicell automated medicines cabinets have now gone live at Park Royal Mental Health Centre in Brent. The unit was installed on all the mental health inpatient areas and is the latest of many Omnicell cabinets we have installed at CNWL.
Omnicell provides an electronic process for ordering and documenting medicines issued to patients. The system interfaces with Pharmacy Ascribe to allow automatic re-ordering of stock provided the countbacks are entered correctly. This means the wards with Omnicell should technically not run out of stock medicines and increase patient safety by reducing omitted or delayed medicines. Using biometric technology, Omnicell also provides a clear audit trail and allows management of Controlled Drugs to be electronic.
See some photos below of the installation at Shore Ward, Caspian Ward and Coombe Ward.
