Best Practices Tips and techniques to help you work smarter. Newsletter – Spring 2016
How to Clean Your Omnicell Automated Dispensing Cabinets We are often asked about the best ways to clean and maintain our automated dispensing cabinets. Below are some general guidelines to follow, whether you use our cabinets for medications or supplies. We have also provided a chart you can download with information about routine cleaning. General Guidelines •
Use hospital-grade disinfecting wipes or apply cleaner to a clean, lint-free cloth prior to wiping the surface.
•
To prevent liquid from dripping into seams or openings, do not spray cleaning solution directly onto surfaces or use an over-saturated cloth—especially on the touchscreen, LCD, fingerprint reader, or keyboard surfaces.
•
Some premoistened wipes may leave a residue on the surface after the solution dries. This does not affect the equipment operation, but it can cloud surfaces such as fingerprint readers. The residue can be removed with a clean, lint-free cloth.
•
To prevent surface finish damage, do not use abrasive or harsh scrub pads to clean any surfaces.
•
Avoid harsh chemicals such as acetone or toluene, which dissolve most plastics.
Periodic Cleaning The downloadable cleaning guide provided includes information for regular cleaning (daily to every two weeks). Following are recommendations for periodic (e.g. quarterly) cleaning:
4
•
Remove and vacuum the bottom shelf of each cabinet cell, to remove accumulated dust. Dust cabinet tops as needed.
•
Vacuum the CPU fan filter to prevent dust accumulation, or alternatively, remove it to rinse with water and dry.
Download this pdf for a handy chart you can print and share with others. It describes how to clean and disinfect the various components of your cabinet system and includes recommended cleaning frequency. Of course, also follow your health care facility’s cleaning protocols.

Improve Patient Safety with SinglePointe Option Software Automates Management of PatientSpecific Medications to Reduce Errors and Risk Did you know that only about 80% of patient medications are currently managed by automated solutions? Patient-specific medications, which comprise the other 20%, must be managed, tracked and administered manually. Omnicell understands the risks and challenges this imposes on your nursing and pharmacy staff, and has developed a solution. SinglePointe™ patient medication management software enables you to safely store, track, and manage up to 100% of a patient’s medications in your automated dispensing cabinet (ADC). Each medication is profiled individually and there is a specific location in the cabinet where it is stored. This reduces the time nurses spend searching for medications and making unnecessary calls to pharmacy, allowing for more time with patients.
Discharged Patients SinglePointe provides timely information to the pharmacy about medications remaining in the dispensing cabinet for patients that have been discharged and provides a user-intuitive workflow to remove and track these medications. This enhances patient safety and helps to resolve potential billing discrepancies.
Proven Results Customer data has shown that SinglePointe reduced: •
Restock time by 50%
•
Missing doses by 30%
•
Returns/credits by 80%
•
Potential medication errors by 76%
SinglePointe Benefits •
Improves patient safety by reducing the potential for medication errors, including missing doses and use of discontinued medications
•
Promotes patient safety by eliminating the risk of comingling medications for multiple patients in a single room bin
•
Reduces expenses caused by lost or misplaced medications
•
Ensures the patient’s medications are available
Patient Transfers Transferring patients to other units poses additional challenges including an increased risk of loss of medications, diversion, missing doses, and potentially fatal medication errors. SinglePointe provides an efficient chain of custody for transfer of medications, which helps eliminate risk of discontinued or wrong medications being administrated to patients. Medication information is automatically transferred to the ADC on the receiving unit and is in place when the pharmacy technician physically relocates the medications.

Interoperability Connecting with other health information systems. Newsletter – Spring 2016
Improving Medication Administration for Nurses with Cabinet-EHR Interoperability Health care providers have been clamoring for greater interoperability between systems in order to prevent errors and increase efficiency, and Omnicell is delivering. We now offer integration between our automated dispensing cabinets and major electronic health record (EHR) systems, namely Epic and Cerner.
Poster Presentation at Nurse Informatics Conference At the American Nursing Informatics Association (ANIA) annual conference April 21–23 in San Francisco, Marie Kozel, Director of Clinical Informatics at Nebraska Methodist Health System, will present a poster describing the positive outcomes experienced by nursing after implementing the Omnicell interoperability with their Cerner Millennium EHR.
Video Hackensack University Medical Center has implemented the Omnicell integration with their Epic Hyperspace system. Watch this video to learn how the Omnicell functionality is integrated into the Epic system and see the streamlined process for retrieving the queued medications at the Omnicell cabinet.
With our interoperability solution, nurses can login to the EHR to preselect medications, view medication availability, and document waste—functions that previously needed to be done at the automated dispensing cabinet. This interoperability: •
Helps reduce errors and provide a safer medication processes
•
Improves nurse satisfaction by streamlining medication administration
•
Allows nurses to spend more time on direct patient care
Dena McDonald, a nurse manager at Hackensack University Medical Center, has said, “We have significantly decreased the amount of time that we’ve spent either at the cabinet, queuing up medications, looking for medications, on the phone with pharmacy—we’ve moved all of that back to being with the patient.” Below are some ways you can learn more about this solution and how it may benefit your health care facility.

“To better serve our nurses and ensure they are spending maximum amount of time with patients, we realized we needed complete integration between our medication order system and EHR. By developing interoperability with Epic, Omnicell has created a solution that helps us achieve this goal.” – Nilesh Desai, BS, RPh, MBA Administrator, Pharmacy & Clinical Operations, Hackensack University Medical Center

Top 10 Compliance Best Practices for Medication Management
removable storage media, and mobile devices—must be taken to prevent unauthorized parties from remotely accessing electronic devices involved in the medication dispensing process.
The Medication Management Council formed by Omnicell in 2014 recently issued its Top 10 Compliance Best Practices, which are shared below. The mission of the Council is to identify medication management best practices that will move the industry forward. With a paramount commitment to serve as an open forum for unbiased, objective discussion, the Council is comprised primarily of non-Omnicell members, most of whom have pharmacy or nursing backgrounds. Based on research and analysis, the team initially generated a list of over 20 best practices related to complying with a variety of regulations. After lively discussion, the list was narrowed to 10 best practices. “Compliance is obviously a broad area, so the Medication Management Council identified the most impactful best practices, many of which are well established today, while others are somewhat aspirational,” explained Ken Perez, Vice President of Healthcare Policy for Omnicell. “The Top 10 Compliance Best Practices list gives a hospital an easy way to focus on specific action items to pursue.”
1
All electronic devices involved in the medication-use process should have cybersecurity measures in place to prevent outside parties from gaining unauthorized access. Effective cybersecurity is needed to ensure that medical device functionality, confidentiality, and integrity are maintained. While wireless, Internet- and network-connected devices have improved healthcare, their proliferation has led to greater security and patient safety risks. In addition to potentially harming the patient through incorrect drug dosing, tampering with wireless infusion pumps could expose a healthcare system to malicious attacks, leading to loss of data and services, resulting in downtime and loss of productivity. In order to ensure patient safety, measures— including encryption of wireless networks, laptops, workstations,
Medications should contain tracking methods (barcodes, RFID, etc.) with standardized format and content Medication packaging or the process of shipping medications should have methods that support data capture for tracking distribution and transport of medications from manufacturer to the end user and all relevant points in between. Systems should enable the retrieval of specific delivery information in compliance with the Drug Supply Chain Security Act.
Health information systems should maintain and communicate accurate patient information across the continuum of care. There should be bi-directional information flow between the hospital’s electronic health record and other electronic health records so that all pertinent information regarding patient medications is available to all professionals involved in the delivery of care. This information should be made available to patients through an online portal and/or applications on mobile devices.

4
Healthcare information systems should incorporate tracking methods for all doses at all steps in the medication-use process. Because medications dispensed to a patient should be of the utmost quality and efficacy, medications should be traceable in order to track expiration dates, facilitate removal when expired or recalled, and prevent introduction of counterfeit medications into the dispensing process. Automation should be able to read all formats, given that the format contains the standardized information (drug name, dose, drug quantity, strength, lot number, expiration date) required by regulation.

5
Medication administration information should be directly retrieved from devices (IV pumps, automated dispensing cabinets, etc.) and transmitted to the electronic health record for appropriate documentation. The nurse should scan the patient, scan the medication, and associate the IV pump with the medication. Information should then be sent from the medication administration record to the IV pump, and the IV pump should send information back to the electronic health record once the infusion is complete, including the stop time. Finally, the nurse should validate all information in the electronic health record and complete the transaction. This process should enhance billing compliance, as most outpatient infusion requires start and stop times, and it also should help pharmacy batch IVs using real-time data.
6
An analytics system should pull data from disparate sources and provide dashboards and applications that are easy to navigate, intuitive, and efficient, and which feature required regulatory compliance data. Given the highly regulated nature of the medication-use process, software applications that monitor and measure compliance with regulations should be used.
7
To ensure proactive surveillance of medication use, all orders and dispensing transactions should be reconciled with administration events and readily retrievable. Data collection of medication delivery and administration should be captured in real time through transactions for dispensing, storage in automated dispensing cabinets and/or administration to the patient. Distribution loops should be closed by matching dispenses from medication storage areas with patient administrations. Open transactions should be shared with those who have the responsibility to monitor medication use for appropriate follow up.
8
Pharmacists should be responsible for initiating, monitoring and discontinuing medication orders, as well as maintaining an accurate medication list. Pharmacists should have provider status and the ability to maintain patient medication lists across the continuum of care.
8
9
Interprofessional team member roles related to medication management should be clarified and supported by national regulatory bodies. Within the interprofessional team, pharmacists should play an integral role in the medication management process. Increased collaboration between all healthcare professionals involved in the management of medications should improve patient outcomes. The respective roles and responsibilities of team members should be outlined in each discipline’s scope of practice regulation.
10
Patient charges should be derived from medication administration data rather than medication dispensing records. Administration records with bedside electronic confirmation are the most accurate reflection of the medications a patient receives. By generating billing transactions based on these administration events, a hospital should ensure that billing and administration data match, preventing insurance refunds and potential fraud charges for overbilling. In addition, this practice should eliminate the need to manually credit items dispensed but not used, saving time and effort. Expanding Beyond Acute Care The Medication Management Council is expanding its scope from a hospital focus to the full continuum of care, and plans to revise its top 10 lists of best practices in the areas of safety, efficiency, and compliance to take into account settings such as retail pharmacy and long-term care. See blog posts about the Council’s previous Top 10 lists: Top 10 Safety Best Practices Top 10 Efficiency Best Practices

Post-Acute Care Addressing medication adherence. Newsletter – Spring 2016
Find-A-Pharmacy–A New Online Tool to Aid Adherence Are you aware of how much your hospital is paying in fines for preventable readmissions? One way to mitigate these costs is to ensure that, upon discharge, your patients understand what medications they need to take, when to take them, and the importance of remaining adherent. To help in this endeavor, Omnicell has launched a new web-based Find-A-Pharmacy tool, which helps connect patients and caregivers with pharmacists who provide SureMed™ by Omnicell® adherence packaging. SureMed is a multiple medication blister card that eases medication management by organizing medications by time of day and day of the week, making it easy to know what to take and when. Find-A-Pharmacy is available to anyone and is easy to use. Providers can use the tool to find local pharmacies that offer SureMed. They can then provide that information to patients upon discharge. There is typically no charge to patients receiving this adherence packaging. By simply entering your zip code and search range into the tool, Find-A-Pharmacy will display pharmacies in the designated area that offer SureMed. Currently, over one million patients worldwide use SureMed to help remain adherent and in compliance with physician-recommended therapy.
Tackling Readmissions Reductions in preventable hospital readmission rates continue to be among the top priorities for health care facilities. High readmission rates not only affect a facility’s reputation but can also impact their bottom line. In 2015, 78% of acute care hospitals were assessed a penalty for poor readmission rates. That amounted to over $428 million dollars in avoidable fees.3

When patients are able to stay adherent to their treatment, they not only help prevent unnecessary visits to emergency departments or urgent care centers,4 but they also demonstrate increased confidence and pride in staying healthy. To learn more about SureMed solutions, please click here.
Cost of Non-Adherence The link between medication non-adherence and readmission in hospitals and nursing homes has been well established. Currently more than 30 million Americans take multiple medications on a daily basis and find great difficulty in remaining adherent. Non-adherence costs the U.S. health care system over $105 billion annually, emphasizing the vital need to combat this public health issue.5
