Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMCL) has launched Mandarin-language versions of its G4 medication automation products for clinical use in China. The successful language conversion of Omnicell medication cabinets enables Chinese hospitals to access advances in operational improvements similar to those made available in English-speaking markets earlier this year when Omnicell launched its new automation platform.
This groundbreaking medication automation system was first implemented at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) in Beijing. A recently completed multi-month pilot study of the Mandarin-language Omnicell automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs) at PUMCH found that the Omnicell ADCs save each floor nurse nearly two hours per day that were previously spent locating medications and which can now be re-directed back to patient care. The hospital has plans to extend its use of Omnicell ADCs to other areas of the hospital.
"By automating the medication dispensing and administration process, we are able to store and retrieve medications securely from the Omnicell ADCs on the patient floors, which are restocked automatically by the pharmacy staff," said Weinan Liu, chief nurse, Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
