ORLANDO, Fla. -- Omnicell, Inc. introduced important new case, product and patient tracking enhancements to its OptiFlex CL supply management system for hospital cath labs, endoscopy and other special procedure units. The enhanced version of OptiFlex CL was successfully beta tested at St. Patrick Hospital and Health Sciences Center in Missoula, Mont.

The announcement was made during a press briefing at the AHRMM 44th Annual Conference & Exhibition at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando.

OptiFlex CL is a specialty area management system with real-time point-of-use data collection that tracks supplies and procedures to the physician for cost management and automated charge capture. It is a complete, integrated system for managing supplies in closed cabinets and open shelves in hospital cath labs, endoscopy and other special procedure units. The OptiFlex platform also includes configurable modules for hospital medical-surgical and surgical services units.

New enhancements to OptiFlex CL include:
-- Track case costs via user defined case types (e.g., diagnostic and interventional radiology, endoscopy, electrophysiology) back to the case, physician, patient and technician, ensuring accuracy and cost control
-- Track expiration date, lot number, and serial numbers easily via bar code scanning, eliminating manual tracking
-- Inventory management and cost tracking for temporary patients
