SafetyStock

SafetyStock™ is a bar code confirmation system that promotes patient safety by minimizing the opportunity for stocking and dispensing errors. SafetyStock users scan bar codes to confirm the identity of medication and supply products for restock, selected issues, and returns to the Color Touch cabinet.

Technical Overview

SafetyStock is an Omnicell option. It requires the purchase of an Option Key. Restock, Issue and

Bin Bar Code Confirmation functions will not work until SafetyStock is properly enabled. Other related features and enhancements, such as Automatic Stock-out, function independently of

SafetyStock and do not require an Option Key. The SafetyStock feature is primarily used for medication restocking and issuing functions, however, can also be used for supply items.

Existing cabinet functionality directs both the pharmacy technician and the nurse to the correct location during restock and issue transactions. SafetyStock provides an additional layer of safety, using bar code scanning to ensure that medication items are restocked correctly and, if so configured, that the correct medication is issued from the cabinet.

SafetyStock is also designed for facilities using Omnicell WorkflowRx. In such cases, SafetyStock uses the Restock Labels generated by WorkflowRx, and is able to receive restock information from and send restock confirmations to WorkflowRx. For non-WorkflowRx accounts, Pick and Restock labels and reports are generated at the OmniScanner Shelf Label Bar Code. In either case, an approved model of SATO printer is required (see System Requirements/Compatibility).

SafetyStock bar code confirmation involves three primary elements:

Labeling and scanning for restock confirmation

Labeling and scanning for issue and return confirmation (optional)

Labeling and scanning for bin location confirmation (optional)

In addition, the following restock options and enhancements are introduced with this feature:

Selective Restock

Allows users to manually generate a restock at the OmniCenter for select items, outside of the normal restock process.

Automatic stock-out restock generation

Automatically generates a restock for specified items that reach a zero quantity, within a configurable time period prior to normal restock.

Customizable default printer settings

Provide the ability to specify different default printers for various functions, such as restock reports and label printing.

Restock tab user interface changes

Feature separates screens for restock by route, by cabinet, by item (Selective Restock), and for reprints, along with numerous other UI enhancements.

Table 1-1. OmniRx situations and related steps

Important: Always use the kit’s plate to replace the rear plate bracket on the OmniRx (step 6) if it exists. This will avoid extra work later or sacrificing an Aux port for a future peripheral addition. Existing back plate brackets may not have a cutout for a remote antenna in case the OmniTT were to be made wireless later.

Available cutouts in the back of the sled may need to be punched out if there is no Aux port in place and no back plate bracket. These cutouts may be large enough for the RJ-12 coupler (step 3). If not, a strain relief is used to secure the cable to the sled (step 4) with the cable connected to the coupler outside the sled. Care is needed to ensure the cable is not easily disconnected.

Step 5 is used where there is no back plate bracket and no open Aux ports/cutouts. The scanner and Aux port share the same sled opening with cables connected to their couplers outside the sled. This method allows the addition of the scanner without sacrificing the use of the peripheral. Care is needed to ensure cables are not easily disconnected.

3.[OmniRX] If there is no rear plate bracket and the available Aux port cutout is large enough for the RJ-12 coupler, perform the following steps:

a.Disconnect the left most AUX coupler (as viewed from the back) and set it inside the sled with its cable (or) punch out the available cutout if there is no Aux port in place.

b.Install the RJ-12 coupler in the AUX coupler’s place.

c.Connect the adapter cable (#42-1303) to the in side of the RJ-12 coupler.

d.Proceed to Step 7.

4.[OmniRx] If there is no rear plate bracket and the available Aux port cutout is not large enough for the RJ-12 coupler, perform the following steps:

a.Disconnect the left most AUX coupler (as viewed from the back) and set it inside the sled with its cable (or) punch out the available cutout if there is no Aux port in place.

b.Thread the adapter cable (#42-1303) through the cutout bracket (#53-7156) inside the sled.

Software Functionality

OmniCenter

In order to support the SafetyStock feature—for both WorkflowRx and non-WorkflowRx customers—a number of changes have been made at the OmniCenter. These include modifications to the Administration tab, Restock tab, Database tab Items table, and OmniSupplier and Transactions tables, as well as new and modified reports.

Administration Tab Modifications

Administration tab modifications include the ability to print Bin Confirmation Labels

(Administration > OmniSuppliers), and the addition of a Restock Configuration Setup section (Administration > Setup).

Software Functionality

Printing Bin Confirmation Labels A Bin Confirmation Labels option has been added to the

Administration tab, OmniSuppliers Administration type. This allows users to generate and print bin bar code labels, for use with the bin confirmation restock function. Bin confirmation labels are formatted for Avery 5167 or 5267 labels and print to a standard laser printer (8 1/2” x 11” sheet, White, Laser, Permanent-Adhesive; 80 labels per sheet.).

To print one or more sheets of labels, the user selects the Bin Confirmation Labels option, types in the number of pages desired, then clicks Print.

Figure 1-33. Administration Tab, OmniSupplier Admin Type—Print Bin Confirmation Labels

The labels are printed in sequential order. If labels have been printed in the past, numbering for subsequent jobs start where the last print job left off. The OmniCenter retains this information, to prevent duplication of bin bar codes.

Note: ID numbers are generated sequentially, starting from 1 and ending at 2,147,483,647. If the maximum number is reached the sequence starts again at 1.

Once printed, labels are placed in the desired bins. Bin association is performed via the Color

Touch software and scanner. See sample label below.

Software Functionality

The Restock Report Defaults section has been added to allow users to specify whether or not to print pick lists, restock reports and/or restock labels. The Print restock labels option determines if restock labels will be printed, by default, when generating restocks, and if so, whether to print labels only for SafetyStock items. If this option is set to Yes or SafetyStock Items Only, restock labels are generated, by default, at the designated SATO label printer. If SafetyStock Items Only is selected, labels are only printed for items set to Confirm Restock: ...scan required in the Items database.

The Automatic Stockout Override Settings allow the user to specify the time periods, prior to normal restock generation and fulfillment, that Automatic Stockout restock generation should not occur. The Prerestock window setting determines the amount of time prior to normal restock generation that Automatic Restock triggers will be ignored. The Post-restock window setting determines the amount of time after normal restock generation that Automatic Restock triggers will be ignored.

The Restock/picklists printer and Restock labels printer fields allow the user to specify the default printer for restock reports and picklists, and the default printer for restock labels. The Default system printer field is read-only; it displays the designated OmniCenter/system printer.

Report Setup Screen The Report Setup screen allows the user to control the following settings:
