Omnicell announces the release of the Controlled Substance Management (CSM) system, designed to improve the management of narcotics. The CSM provides perpetual inventory management and an automated audit trail to help pharmacy comply with regulatory standards while increasing efficiency. The database is shared between the pharmacy, operating rooms, and nursing cabinets. CSM monitors and tracks narcotics throughout the hospital during the dispensing and reconciliation processes, providing a closed-loop solution for dispensing reconciliation.
