QS/1 is pleased to be the first pharmacy management software vendor to interface with Omnicell's latest packing software. The SureMed™ by Omnicell® Guided Packing software is a cloud-based platform designed to increase pharmacy accuracy in filling SureMed multiple medication blister cards.
"QS/1 is honored to partner with Omnicell to offer this packaging solution to pharmacies," said Tammy Devine, president of QS/1. "This software interface will not only help pharmacies be more productive but will help improve patient medication adherence."
The SureMed Guided Packing software helps pharmacies provide adherence packaging services quickly and with minimal investment. The software is a web-based application that can be accessed from any workstation in the pharmacy with an internet connection. Technicians are guided by the software with step-by-step procedures rather than spending valuable time trying to determine the most effective method for filling the blister cards.
“We are pleased to be able to offer increased options and flexibility to our pharmacy partners as they look to scale their adherence programs. Guided Packing is the latest step in this trajectory, helping to make hand packing more accurate for optimal patient safety,” said Troy Hilsenroth, vice president and general manager of global automation and medication adherence at Omnicell. “Introducing the new packing software interface with a partner such as QS/1 gets us off to a great start.”
The interface with QS/1's pharmacy management system eliminates the need for entering information twice and allows pharmacists to focus on patient-facing activities due to greater confidence in the accuracy of their hand-packing procedures. It also enables labeling information to be printed directly on the SureMed Guided Packing blister card, and offers co-branding options that allow pharmacies to print their logo on the cards to stand out from the competition.
